DSB ME N XL L M4

Between 1981 and 1985 the Danish State Railways DSB purchased 37 units of the diesel-electric series ME from the consortium Henschel, BBC, Scandia. Due to the positive experience with American drive technology, the 2427 kW (at 900 rpm) 16-cylinder two-stroke engine 16-645 E3B from EMD was chosen as the diesel engine, which generates the energy for the six traction motors. With a top speed of 175 km/h, the six-axle vehicles equipped with push-pull and multiple traction control were initially more…

DSB MT N XL L M4

Diesel shunting locomotive DSB MT. also suitable for DSB MH

DSB MX (II) N XL L M4


After the Second World War, various European locomotive manufacturers began developing diesel-electric locomotives, which began to displace steam traction in the USA. In Sweden, Nydqvist and Holm AB (NoHAB) acquired the license to manufacture diesel locomotives for the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in 1949. The Americans owned an export version of the F-series, which had a driver's cab at both ends. For the lighter superstructure in Europe, locos were equipped qith six instead of four axles. more…

DSB MZ III N XL L M4

Due to increased train loads, the Danish State Railways DSB purchased a total of 20 units of the diesel-electric MZ III series between 1972 and 74. The diesel engine chosen was the 2867 kW (at 900 rpm) 20-cylinder two-stroke engine 20-645 E3 from EMD, which generates the energy for the six traction motors manufactured in Denmark. With a top speed of 165 km/h, the six-axle vehicles were mainly used in front of passenger trains, for which they initially had steam heating. From 1978 an electric more…

DSB MZ IV N XL L M4

In 1977 State Railway of Danmark DSB received 15 samples of diesel electric MZ locos. The american GM 645E3 prime mover delivers 3900 HP and enables the six axle loco to reach a maximum speed of 165 km/h.


Different starting processes can be selected with F1: 1x press button = warm start / press button 2x = false start / press button 3x = cold start

F5 enables the heavy load mode: The diesel notch is always one up compared with normal operation. If you want to jump two notches, simply set CV more…
