The DSB Class MX is a lightweight, diesel-electric locomotive built by the Swedish company Nydqist & Holm AB in the years 1960 - 1962 for the Danish State Railways

History

After having great success with the MY locos, DSB started to search for a lighter locomotive for some of the smaller stretches on which the MYs were too heavy to run.

The first unit, 1001 arrived to Denmark in 1960 and got just as popular as its big-brothers in short time - the first 20 units (1001-1020) produced 1,425 horsepower (1,063 kW) whilst the last units, 1020-1045 produced 1,445 horsepower (1,078 kW).

Many of the MXs have been sold to Danish private railways, but a few has also been sold to other countries around Scandinavia.
