DetailsThe NoHAB is widely recognised as one of the most striking diesel locomotives on European railways. Developed as an offshoot of the legendary F series from US manufacturer EMD, it was produced under licence from 1954 by the Swedish company Nydqvist och Holm AB, commonly known as ‘NoHAB.’ By 1965, NoHAB had delivered 165 of these distinctive ‘round-nosed’ locomotives to state railways in Denmark, Norway and Hungary. Additional units were manufactured by Anglo-Franco-Belge for the Belgian state railway, further extending the locomotive’s reach across Europe. Following the liberalisation of the European rail transport market, many NoHAB locomotives found new roles with private operators, including in Germany, where several remain in commercial service today, demonstrating their enduring reliability and versatility. - Iconic Design: Features the distinctive rounded nose that has become synonymous with NoHAB locomotives.
- Licensed Production: Built under licence from EMD by Swedish manufacturer Nydqvist och Holm AB starting in 1954.
- Widespread Use: Delivered extensively to Denmark, Norway, Hungary, and Belgium’s state railways.
- Continued Service: Many locomotives continue to operate with private companies across Europe, including Germany.
- Historic and Operational Significance: A symbol of durable diesel technology adapted for varied European rail networks.
This detailed model faithfully captures the iconic appearance and engineering heritage of the NoHAB, making it an essential addition for enthusiasts of classic European diesel locomotives. |
