The Córas Iompair Éireann 401 Class locomotives were built in 1957–1958 and designed for use on branch line traffic and shunting. They were fitted with a Maybach MD220 engine of Script error: No such module "convert"., with diesel hydraulic transmission via a Mekydro KL64 transmission, and were of C wheel arrangement.

Though they had a design maximum speed of Script error: No such module "convert"., experience showed that they did not ride well when travelling at speeds over Script error: No such module "convert". and so henceforth were limited to that speed. They were numbered E401–E419, and were withdrawn from service between 1968 and 1977 and none were preserved.[1]

Model

The E401 was available as a resin model from "Q Kits",[2] but this company is no longer trading as the owner has retired.

A 401 Body is now available from Shapeways via Valvedesigns (a Rapid Prototyping Service)[3]
