Traction motor enquiry

[102 fan]

Hi

Does anybody know what sort of traction motors were used in the NIR 101 & 80 classes?

Thanks
Brian

Persnally i have no idea. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the industry standard EE507 tho as certainly the 80 class are mechanically similar to BR's thumpers

The class 80's had 2x EE538 of 220hp.
The 101's had 4x EE 253AZ. I think the bogies etc on the 101's were the same as used on the BR class 20's.
