The SJ V1 series diesel locomotives were bought by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) in the late 1940s to replace steam locomotives in shunting service in Sweden .
In the field of electric traction, good experiences have been made with the Ub series since 1930 . However, the petrol-powered small locomotives of the Z series were too weak for many areas .
history
Two diesel locomotives were ordered for test purposes from English Electric , Preston , Lancashire , England . The three-axle locomotives, built in 1948 and commissioned in 1949, were driven via coupling rods by two electric motors that obtained their power from a diesel-powered generator .
After the locomotives had proven themselves in Örebro , the SJ decided to procure more shunting locomotives. The choice fell on a diesel-hydraulic German locomotive, which largely corresponded to the German V 36 . The series designated as V3 received some specific changes and was bought in large numbers.
Both locomotives are still there: the V1.3 came to Svenskt Stål AB, Dannemora (Östhammar) in 1970 , was passed on to the Malmbanans Vänner Association in 1992 and is on display in the Norrbottens Järnvägsmuseum in Karlsvik near Luleå . V1.4 was sold to Fagersta Bruk AB in Horndal in 1971 and also passed on to Svenskt Stål AB, Dannemora in 1979. In 1992 it became part of the Swedish Railway Museum.
