The diesel locomotives of the TGOJ V series were bought by the Swedish private railway company Trafikaktiebolaget Grängesberg-Oxelösunds järnväger (TGOJ) in 1952 to replace steam locomotives in the shunting service on their own route network. The locomotives are similar to the SJ V3 series , which Statens Järnvägar (SJ) also procured from Germany for the same purpose .

history

While the state railways' locomotives were being built at the Esslingen machine factory , TGOJ chose Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz as their supplier. The series largely corresponds to the German type V36 with some specific changes. Like the V36, the TGOJ V had a jackshaft drive .

The TGOJ locomotives were only given the designation V , because there were no other large diesel locomotives at the private railway company at that time.

At the beginning of the 1970s, five locomotives were parked or sold. V 805 and 807 remained in service in Eskilstuna until 1984 . While the locomotives subsequently used by private companies (801: Iggesunds Bruk , Iggesund, 802: Gränges Gruvor, Stråssa and 804: Gränges Essem, Västerås ) and 806 were scrapped in Eskilstuna until 1983, the two locomotives that remained in Eskilstuna only followed in 1986.

Only the V 803 locomotive, which was sold to Vallvik in 1974, remained and was handed over to the Grängesberg Railway Museum in 1989 .
