Interesting video. Probably the most recognizable and loved units in Norway by far. On a different note: The Di4's body/external appearance was based on specific requirements by NSB so in a way they are more obscure or unique if you want. Keep them videos coming!
You should probably talk about the NSB Class 49 (Dovre Giant) one day. This class consists of the largest and most powerful steam locomotives ever to run in Norway. Only one is preserved.
We are now in 2024. And there are still Danish NOHAB MY going strong in Denmark, Sweden and even Germany. They are mostly in use by some private freight operators. So in contrast to the final speak of this video this locomotive has proven to be worth keeping alive for much longer time than other locomotives from that era and even later locomotive types.
Yep, us Finns bought French locos instead of Nohabs because Ahlstom corrupted VR's general director to buy their products. The result (Finnish class Dr13) was crappy design with many many technical defaults. For example every bearing had to be replaced after first test drives. After major repairs the series went into regular operation, and the corruption scandal went into the court. The locomotives were used until year 2000. Some engineers liked them, some not. They were very powerfull but even with repairs their bodies were so weak you'd better jump off if anything bigger than a van came onto tracks at level crossings. Also at higher speed they jump around so much you can't drink any coffee without it flying to the ceiling.
The Di3 was designed for the Danish state railroads as the My the Norwegian railroads was just a modified version (lower geared more traction motors,different lighting,newer generation of motor even though that there was some overlap in engine generation), finish was closer to the Danish except the gearing
4:00 So when did the 'pass-reversing' train policy became standard for Europe and this compelled Swedes to set a spec for thier Diesels to be dual cabs even with those desing origin is American (which dualcabs diesels are exceptionally rare).
Time 06:45. I've seen more than one such accident report. Every time it was due to human error, not locomotive design. It has happened to several other types of locos and trains. Sharpen up!

Your presentation is interesting and unique.
Nohab made some great engines. Some of the engine types they built ended up in canada! Soem are in brittain today. Too bad the factory is gone :(

We've got a pair of TMX 1031s and a pair if T44s at our rail yard in Uddevalla, western sweden
6:46 aha, that is why there are protective bars in for the cab windows 😂

The pic of the DSB class MY is not an MY, its an MX that was pritty much the same but a lighter axle load.
Talks about Norweign steam whilst showing British steam. B4itain retained steam because we had coal and next to no oil of our own.

Also nice video! :)
Also the finlandization kicked in the 1970s when first Sr1 electric locomotives were ordered from the Soviet Union
Lol, never buy french. Never, unless it's food or art. Just one of these facts of life.

You need to make sure the audio on the funny clips is the same volume as the rest of your video.
Unless you hate people with headphones
Yeah, sorry about that. I fully admit that sound mixing in this video is crap. Something for me to work on in future projects.

0:41 And not Sprinters?
Norway didn't retire its last steam engines untill 1970, so I guess the UK was more modern...
The last Steam engines actually ran in ordinary service until 1971
77 in West German, 88 in East

We hungarians got some of those beautiful engines too! ...... Most of them crashed to bits.......
Look up Hungarian Nohab lovo! Its beautiful
4:13 WEEEEEE
Its a Co'Co', not a CoCo :)
norway's last steam train ran in 1970
1971* on August 25. From Grong to Oslo.
What a messy video.
Sad faced locomotives
