Norwegian Class EL 17 Locomotive

"The NSB El 17 is a class of twelve electric locomotives built by Thyssen-Henschel and Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri (NEBB) for the Norwegian State Railways (NSB). The class was built in two series, the first delivered in 1981 and numbered 2221–2226, and the second delivered in 1987 and numbered 2227–2232. The traction system of the El 17 was based on the DB Class 120 of Germany (BBC, AEG and Siemens) and were among the first in the world to feature three-phase asynchronous motors." - Wikipedia This is the Norwegian EL 17 locomotive, introduced in 1981 and are still in service today. This is a model of the first series of locomotives. It currently includes the three 3 liveries. It is a lightweight locomotive which balances out its low power. Its unreliability is reflected in this mod with a shorter lifespan. These locomotives were used on cross-country passenger trains on the Dovre, Bergen and Sørland Line. NSB was in a process to modernize its fleet and new locomotives for cross country intercity trains was needed, therefore the EL 17 was ordered. They were were among the first in the world to feature three-phase asynchronous motors, but had a lot of technical faults. The unreliability and lack of sufficient power forced NSB to instead use them in the regional lines until it was replaced by the EL 18. In 1998 the second series EL 17 was transfered to the Flåm Line were they proved to be sucsessful. They were retired from passenger service on the Flåm Railway in 2015. Stats
