This page
will give an overview of the NOHAB and AFB HO
models that I have in my collection. It doesn't give a complete
overview of all the models available on the market, just an overview of
my collection. The models are grouped per country. You can click on
each picture to get a bigger (1024x768) picture.
The overview starts with the NOHAB demo model.
Number:
NOHAB 2246
Manufacturer:
Märklin
Catalogus no:
37665
System:
Three rail AC
Era:
1954-1957
Description:
The fifth NOHAB was a demo model. It was numbered 2246 (its builder number) and toured
through various European countries. In 1957 it was sold to the Norwegian NSB and became
Di3.602. Pictures of the real 2246 can be found at
NOHAB-GM.
This model is still a three rail AC model and therefore it is not used on my layout.
Number:
NOHAB 2246
Manufacturer:
Heljan
Catalogus no:
4340
System:
2 rail DC
Era:
1955, 2004-present
Description:
The demo model came to Norway in 1955 and was fitted with the NSB logo
on the nose. When it went back to NOHAB later that year the NSB logo was
replaced by the NOHAB/GM logo found on the Märklin model.
In 2004 the Di3.602 was restored back into the original colours. See the
Di3.602 page of the
Di3 Photo Archive.
