 Another
stamp depicting a diesel engine of the
class Di.3. The stamp shows No. 3.641, here heading container
wagons from the company "Tollpost-Globe". But note that the desert
sand in the foreground is a rather strange element in a Norwegian
connection. This engine is one of three locomotives of the subclass
Di.3b built by NOHAB during 1958-59. The same (or at least similar)
engine is also to be seen on stamps from
Malagasy and Niger. 3.641 was built
in 1959 (factory No. 2416) for the
Finnish state
railways, which later cancelled the order. It was then hired out
to NSB, and thereafter purchased in 1960. It is stationed in
Trondheim railway district. This stamp is one of eight stamps in a
sheet showing
locomotives from different countries.
