CIE replacing Crossley engines with GM units.

There is some discussion here about CIE replacing the Crossley diesels with the GMs. Stick with it, I found it very interesting. The initial post, though regarding GE is answered and then the fun starts. Nothing new but some good technical talk!

Its an interesting discussion in a way the original posters fantasy of a European railway using locally built GM locos came true with the Swedish firm Nohab building a European twin cabbed version of the classic F7 widely used across much of Europe even showing up in Turkey and Egypt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSB_Class_MY

 

An Irish MY is an interesting might have been as Nohab tendered to supply locos to the GNR and possibly CIE.
