Kato Diesel locomotive MY 1135 DSB Gods Ep.V-VI

The Swedish locomotive manufacturer Nydqvist och Holm AB (NOHAB) received the license to build EMD locomotives for Europe in 1949. The basis for this was the six-axle Australian B Class of the Victoria Railway. The design was adapted to the UIC standard, particularly the narrower loading gauge. Additionally, the locomotives were equipped with European coupling and buffer systems. At Anglo-Franco-Belge (AFB), the locomotives were built for the Belgian and Luxembourg railways. NOHAB locomotives were in service with the state railways of Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Hungary. Today, numerous examples can still be found in active service with private railways in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Kosovo.
