The 7th book in the series about internal combustion motive power in Denmark has almost double the number of pages compared to the earlier volumes. This one covers locomotives and (heavy) railcars built by the two main builders to both the State Railways (DSB) and the private railways 1932 to 1978. Similar designs built for export are also covered and include such rare items as railcars to the Baltic countries and diesel locomotives sent to Russia as Finnish war reparations.
The more important designs include the numerous heavy MO-class railcars and the first generation Lyntog-trains from the 1930s with licence-built examples in Belgium. On the locomotive side, there were the box-shaped early diesel electrics, the twin-cab and off-centre cab designs to private operators and the modern-looking but less than successful mainline competitors to Nohab-diesels (covered in book 5). The coverage, both text-, list- and image-wise, is excellent and it is hard to see how a book possibly could be better than this.
The book is not cheap, but gives good value for money. 216 pages, landscape A4, profusely illustrated with b/w- and color photographs and very clear line drawings. Text in Danish.
