Found this link to Some interesting photos of 071s at EMD La Grange from Preston Cook's collection on a group on Facebook.

A modellers dream having such GM power lined up in their Brand New as delivered supertrain livery with white CIE roundel

The inside of 080 as Pristine as can be, also note the use of the accommodation Bo-Bo bogies to move the 071s around the plant 

Enjoy

Great find, @Anders112!

So this is the livery that CIE weren’t happy with when the locos landed?

And is represented on Murphy Models 088?

Look so odd as Bo-Bo's

Sure it would be rude not to Include the 111s in this forum , here is 113 out of the GM EMD paint shop yet to receive its yellow/orange warning panel and its buffers 

If I’m correct was 113 delivered with a yellow warning panel while 111 and 112 were delivered years earlier with an orange warning panel ?

And of course I was wrong

The extra 5’3 rail in the compound to accommodate the Irish gauge locos is very interesting here…! You’d wonder is it still present!!

NEW ZEALAND: Stadler has shipped the first two of the Class DM main line diesel locomotives that its Valencia factory in Spain is building for KiwiRai/. Look at the different track gauges beneath the loco.
