Catalog description

Novelty 2026: Powerful Performance in the Scandinavian Diesel Era – Class DSB MZ The DSB MZ class consists of 61 diesel-electric locomotives delivered in four production series to the Danish State Railways (DSB). Between 1967 and 1978, the machines with operating numbers MZ 1401 – 1461 were built by the Swedish company Nydqvist och Holm AB (NOHAB) in Trollhättan – under license from the American General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD). The locomotives impressed with robust technology, high performance, and their distinctive design, influenced by NOHAB""s successful tradition. Over the decades, the MZ proved itself in both express passenger services and heavy freight operations, demonstrating impressive versatility. From 2000 onwards, the class was gradually retired by DSB. While most locomotives were sold to private railway companies domestically and abroad, the first-built MZ 1401 was preserved as a museum locomotive. It now stands in Randers, commemorating an Era in which diesel power formed the backbone of Scandinavian rail transport. With eight locomotives still in service at DB Cargo Scandinavia and further operations worldwide, the DSB MZ remains a symbol of reliability, performance, and international significance in locomotive construction.
