The DSB Class MX is a lightweight, diesel-electric locomotive built by Nydqist & Holm AB in the years 1960 - 1962.
[edit] History
After having great success with the MY locos, the DSB started to search for a lighter locomotive for some of the smaller stretches on which the MY's were too heavy to run.
The first unit, 1001 arrived to Denmark in 1960 and got just as popular as its big-brothers in short time - the first 20 units (1001-1020) produced 1425 horsepower whilst the last units, 1020-1045 produced 1445 horsepower.
Many of the MX's have been sold to Danish private railways, but a few has also been sold to other coutries around Scandinavia.
