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

JT22CW-IRISH-RWYS-LA-GRANGE-JUN76-4000-2

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

JT22CW-IRISH-RWYS-LA-GRANGE-JUN76-4000-1

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

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 

EMD factory picture - NIR 113

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 ?

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!!
