On these pages, we intend to give a short summary about
the locomotives our foundation was created for.
- A worldwide historic overview
traces back the ancestry of the M61 class to the Australian
cab units of Clyde Engineering and to the F-Units, built in
the USA by EMD. Beyond Clyde and NOHAB, also other licensees
(AFB, BruNivel, Henschel) are mentioned which produced
locomotives of similar design.
- A brief history of the M61 class
tells why a Swedish locomotive was chosen as mainline power in
a country of the Eastern block; how it earned esteem in its service
years and how the demise of the class was brought about.
- A technical description shows what can
be found inside an M61 and what sets it apart from most other motive
power in Hungary.
- A brief history of the NOHAB Works
gives historic details about the manufacturer of the M61 locomotives.
- A picture gallery presents EMD cab locomotives
working all over the world.
