DSB Diesel locomotive (NOHAB) MY1146, red/black.

The locomotive can, at an additional cost, be equipped with a digital decoder with/without sound.

This model represents the DSB MY 1146, one of the iconic Danish NOHAB locomotives that shaped rail transport in Denmark for decades. Delivered in 1964, MY 1146 had a long and varied career, operating on both East and West networks, undergoing modernisation, and even earning a personal name before being retired.
