The F 1200 after derailing in 1918.

The F was a type of Swedish steam locomotive based on the Württemberg C and built by Nydquist & Holm (NOHAB) between 1914 and 1916. It was primarily used on the main lines between Stockholm-Gothenburg and Stockholm-Malmö. It is one of the largest steam locomotives ever used in Sweden.

The superheated compound engine could produce 1,140 kilowatts (1,529 hp).

During the 1930s the locomotives became obsolete due to electrification of the main lines, and were sold to DSB of Denmark, where they served as DSB Class E[2] into the 1960s.

Two locomotives are preserved, one of them, the F 1200, is in running condition. Both are owned by the Swedish Railway Museum. The F 1200 was involved in a serious accident outside Getå in October 1918.
