The NSB El 8 was a Norwegian electric locomotive built between 1940 and 1949, sixteen engines in all, numbered 8 2054 to 8 2061 and 8 2065 to 8 2072. Four manufacturers took part in building it, AEG, Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri, Per Kure and Thune, so AEG was one of several builders rather than the sole maker. Although fast, the El 8 had no bogies, which made it stiff in the turns, a weakness that the later NSB El 11 and NSB El 13 remedied. The last El 8 was retired in 1987, and engine number 8 2060 is preserved.
