The rail tractors of the series NSB Skd 224 were from 1978/79 by Norges Statsbaner ( German Norwegian State Railways in) Norway used. The small locomotives manufactured by Gmeinder in Germany were used for smaller transport tasks and for shunting on connecting railways and in stations.
history
The Skd 224 is a shunting locomotive that was built in 1978/1979 by the German locomotive factory Gmeinder for NSB. It was the most powerful small locomotive that the NSB had ever used. All locomotives were put into service in 1979.
The series has hydraulic power transmission and has both disc brakes and block brakes . When ordering, NSB attached particular importance to noise reduction and a logical arrangement of the driver's cab . Windows made of reinforced glass and an electric heater were installed in the driver's cab, as well as a refrigerator, hotplate and sink.
The locomotives are versatile, several locomotives can be driven together in multiple traction, but only with locomotives of the same type. During the construction of the locomotive, space was provided for retrofitting a radio remote control . However, this was not built in.
