The locomotives of the Norwegian steam locomotive series NHJ G were procured in 1901 with the construction numbers 1334 and 1335 from the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works by Norsk Hoved-Jernbane (NHJ).

When NHJ was taken over on March 4, 1926 as Oslo district in Norges Statsbaner (NSB), the state railway company in Norway, the locomotives came into their stock.

The series consisted of two locomotives that were mainly used for passenger trains.

Used by Norsk Hoved-Jernbane

As early as the mid-1860s, NHJ and NSB worked closely together and assigned their standard gauge locomotives to a common numbering system. Therefore, when NSB took over the locomotives in 1926, no numbers had to be changed.

The two locomotives in Switzerland were ordered on July 28, 1899, and they were delivered on February 15, 1901. A few days later, the locomotives were handed over to operations.

NHJ F "

Around 1900 NSB and NHJ started classifying their locomotives. NSB chose numbers, while NHJ chose letters to designate the series.

When the series was awarded again in 1923, the locomotives of the previous series NHJ G were renamed " NHJ F" .

NSB Type 41a

When NSB took over the series in 1926, it was given the new series designation NSB 41a . Both locomotives remained in the Oslo district .

NSB Type 41b / NSB Type 41a (b)

In the course of their use at NSB, both locomotives were equipped with a two-axle tender that held 3.5 tons of coal and weighed 13 tons. Such changes result in a change in the type designation in Norway. At first it was considered to call the series NSB Type 41b . However, it was then sold under the name NSB Type 41a (b) .

Use and whereabouts

No. 93 was parked in 1947 and retired on October 25, 1950. The parking date for No. 94 is given in April 1953, the decommissioning took place on July 7, 1953. Both locomotives were scrapped.
