The normal sources I'm using don't describe this diesel switcher locomotive. Would this be of "Motala-11" type and if yes, what is Motala-11?

A Diesel-hydraulic switcher built by Motala Verkstad AB of Motala, Sweden. One of 7 built for MTAS/MTAB. built in 1966. I think that is the only survivor.

Thanks! No wonder the smiles of the personnel were so broad! Personnel of the LKAB owned companies seem to enjoy and are proud of what they are doing.
