After having great
success with the MY locos, the DSB started to search for a lighterlocomotive for some of the smaller stretches on which the MY's were too heavy to run.The first unit, 1001 arrived to
Denmark in1960 and got just as popular as its big-brothers in short time - the first20 units (1001-1020) produced 1425horsepower whilst the last units, 1020-1045 produced 1445horsepower .Many of the MX's have been sold to Danish private railways, but a few has also been sold to other coutries around
Scandinavia .External links
