History: DSB class MY is a class of A1A-A1A (C'-C') diesel-electric locomotives built in the years 1954–1965 by NOHAB, powered by GM-EMD engines, with a design inspired by F-Units and by Australian Victorian Railways B class as a basis. The design was adapted to the UIC standard, in particular the narrower clearance gauge, and the locomotive was also fitted with European traction and buffing equipment.
A total of 59 units, numbered 1101–1159, were delivered to the Danish State Railway (DSB).
Another batch of 20 units were delivered to the Hungarian State Railway (MÁV) in 1963-64 as Class M61.
The Swedish locomotive builder Nydqvist och Holm AB (NOHAB) received the license to build EMD locomotives for Europe in 1949.
For the Belgian and Luxembourg railroads, the locomotives were built at Anglo-Franco-Belge (AFB).
The first four units, 1101–1105, were delivered with 1,700-hp EMD 567B engines. 1106–1144 were delivered with 1,950-hp EMD 567C engines. MY 1145–1159 were delivered with 1,950-hp EMD 567D1 engines.
Many of these locomotives have been sold to various European Railways and a number are still in operation today on private railroads in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Belgium, Luxembourg and Kosovo, among others.
Each country classified it as per their own standards:
- Germany DB Class V170
- Norway NSB Class Di 3
- Hungary MÁV Class M61
- Luxembourg CFL Class 1600
- Belgium SNCB Class 52–54

Railroad/Company: 
NOHAB (Nydqvist & Holm AB) was a manufacturing company based in the city of Trollhättan, Sweden.
The company was founded by Antenor Nydqvist, Johan Magnus Lidström and Carl Olof Holm in 1847 as Trollhättans Mekaniska Verkstad as a manufacturer of turbines for hydraulic power plants. In 1865, the company made its first steam locomotive and in 1912 the 1,000th locomotive steamed out of the factory.
In 1916 the company was reconstituted as a limited company and became NOHAB.
In the 1950s, NOHAB started manufacturing diesel locomotives under licence from Electro-Motive Division of General Motors.
The company went bankrupt in 1979
