In 1960 a 1750 HP diesel-electric locomotive was
arrived to Budapest for demonstration and for some trial runs. This loco with
uncommon look was built by Nydqvist och Holm AB (NoHAB) Trollhättan
(Sweden), some main parts (GM-EMD 16/567C prime mover, the genarator and
the 6 traction motors and some more) were delivered by General Motors -
Electro-Motive Division of the United States. So began the glittering domestic
career of the best ever locomotive type of the MÁV (and maybe of
Europe).
This exemplar was originally planned to build for the
Finnish State Railways, but
the contract was canceled in the last minutes before the signing and
the loco was later bought by
the Norwegian State Railways (NSB). It was running in ordinary
duty until the very end of the NOHAB-era in Norway and is still in use
at Ofotbanen AS, Norway
