As the railways of Ireland dieselized, they became a home for a variety of locomotives built and exported by EMD. One such unit, the original member of the 141 Class of double ended locomotives, has been preserved and repainted in a vintage livery. Here's a website with a fairly well detailed summary of the introduction and use of this class of diesel:

It is interesting to note the purchase price of the locomotive for preservation was funded by Mr. Paddy Murphy, owner of Murphy Models for whom Bachmann's UK Branchline brand builds OO models of Irish prototypes.
