NSB Class 87
NSB Class 87 (Norwegian: NSB type 87) is a class of 25 diesel-hydraulic railcars built by Strømmens Værksted for the Norwegian State Railways. Seventeen a-series units were delivered in 1941 and equipped with 93-kilowatt (125 hp) Deutz prime mover. Eight b-series units were delivered in 1952 and equipped with 110-kilowatt (150 hp) Scania-Vabis prime movers. The trains weighed 15 and 15.5 tonnes (14.8 and 15.3 long tons; 16.5 and 17.1 short tons) and had a maximum speed of 75 and 80 kilometres per hour (47 and 50 mph), respectively for the a and b-series. They were used on many branch lines until the 1960s, when the gradual electrification caused most lines instead to be served with Class 86. The a-series was scrapped in 1972 and 1973, while the b-series remained used between Ål and Hønefos
