The El 8 was a class of 16 units delivered 1940-1949; they had a 1-Do-1 axle arrangement which didn't make it very suitable for tight curves. Like all locos delivered up to 1962, it was originally in a green livery, then this was changed to russet (red brown). The one preserved example (in Hamar) has been returned to the original green.
