The F class was a type of steam locomotive used by Swedish State Railways (Swedish: Statens Järnvägar, SJ) and based on the Württemberg C. Eleven locos were built by Nydquist & Holm (NOHAB) between 1914 and 1916. It was primarily used on the main lines between Stockholm-Gothenburg and Stockholm-Malmö. It is one of the largest steam locomotives ever used in Sweden.

Denmark

During the 1930s the locomotives became obsolete due to electrification of the main lines, and in 1937[2] were sold to DSB of Denmark, where they served as DSB Class E[3] DSB was so impressed with the performance of the E class that starting 1942, a further 25 locos were built by Frichs of Aarhus. The E class remained in service into the early 1970s. On the death of king Frederik IX the funeral train from Copenhagen to Roskilde on 14 January 1972 was double-headed by two class Es.

Preservation

Two of the Swedish-built locomotives are preserved and F 1200 is in running condition. Both are owned by the Swedish Railway Museum. Several Frichs-built locomotives are preserved in Denmark, and E 996 at Railworld in Peterborough. F 1200 was involved in a serious accident outside Getå in October 1918.

Die Lokomotiven der Reihe SJ F (II) waren Schnellzug-Dampflokomotiven der schwedischen Staatsbahnen Statens Järnvägar mit der Achsfolge 2'C 1'h4v. Die ab 1914 beschafften elf Maschinen wurden 1937 nach Dänemark verkauft und von den dänischen Staatsbahnen DSB als DSB E eingruppiert, nachdem sie in Schweden aufgrund der fortschreitenden Elektrifizierung nicht mehr benötigt wurden. Die Dänischen Staatsbahnen ließen ab 1942 weitere 25 Maschinen bauen. Bis 1970 blieben die letzten Maschinen im Planeinsatz bei den DSB, fünf Exemplare sind museal erhalten.
