RMweb Premium Dalesman Posted November 12, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 12, 2014 'tis the NOHAB TMY 106 - they did a good job matching the paint up! Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I suggest that the purists are probably aware that Tågåkeriet i Bergslagen (TÅGAB) painted one of their NOHABs in Great Northern livery. TMY106 started life as Danish State Railways (DSB) MY 1108, one of half a dozen such locomotives (nos. TMY 101-3/5/6/18) acquired secondhand, the remainder appearing in a more normal silver and red livery. Quite a regular sight at their base at Kristinehamn (as in the accompanying photos), these locomotives could be found in many parts of Sweden and Norway. What the purists may not realise, however, is that TÅGAB also painted one of their two T43s in the same livery. T43 107 (formerly T43 253, which was also its original SJ identity) is also seen at Kristinehamn, on a later visit. (The yellow loco in the background is one of the former ÖBB class 1043 electrics, built by ASEA, repatriated and acquired by the Swedish track maintenance company Banverket).

w124bob Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I ask myself why? Is this some sort of secret livery experiment for when the dutch take over Scotrail (could do worse!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted November 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2014 Is this modelled after one of the old Tri-Ang transcontinental locos? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor quinn Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 They were painted for the film "Dancer in the Dark", directed by Lars von Trier who makes films about America but shoots them in Scandinavia hence the replica livery. Hmm.... I have a spare NohabNohab Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Reichert Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Is this modelled after one of the old Tri-Ang transcontinental locos? I thought I saw a picture of the prototype? of the Triang Rwys "Diesel with pantograph" on this forum only a week or so back. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
