NSB Class 7

The Norwegian State Railways 7 (7a) Class (Formerly Norwegian Main Railway D & H Classes) are 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotives.
==History==
The 7 (7a) class are a class of eight saddle tank 0-4-0 locomotives. The class were first introduced for shunting duties in 1875 for the Norwegian Main Railway as their D and H classes. They were built by Manning Wardle and company of England to their F class designs and later Nylands Mechanical Workshop of Oslo, Norway. When the Norwegian State Railways took over the NMR/NHJ the classes became unified into the 7a class. The last was withdrawn in 1964.https://forsk.njk.no/mdb/mdb.php?hid=76&aut=&visallebilder=1 (Translated by Google)https://www.steamlocomotive.info/country.cfm?which=norwayhttps://jernbane.net/bo/subpage.php?s=3&t=99 (Translated by Google)https://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/norway02.htmhttp://members.ozemail.com.au/~telica/Norway_Hamar_Railway_Museum_Main_Exhibition_Hall.htmlhttp://www.nic.funet.fi/index/pics/railways/Norway/museum/index.htmlhttps://www.ebe-data.com/Hobby/Jernbanebilder/Norge/Lok/Damp.htm#Normalspor (Translated by Google)https://www.ebe-data.com/Hobby/Jernbanebilder/Norge/Veterantog_museum/Jernbanemuseet-museumsomraadet.htm (Translated by Google)https://njk.no/kroderbanen-rullende-materiell/lokomotiver (Translated by Google)https://njk.no/kroderbanen-rullende-materiell/lokomotiver/59-rullende-materiell/materiellpresentasjon-lokomotiver/4430-7a-11 (Translated by Google)
