Introduction

The Norwegian El11 was an universal locomotive. It was based on the Swiss Re4/4. The first serie (El11a) came into service between 1951 and 1956. A second serie (El11b) was built in 1963/64. It had a very different front window configuration. The El11 was in service until 1998.

NMJ has made the El11 in both the Superline (brass) and Topline (plastic) series. Skaladesign also has an El11.
