The model has two cabs, six axles arranged across two three-axle bogies, and is designed for the analog Märklin H0 AC system.

Beginning in the 1950s, the Norwegian State Railways put Di 3 series diesel locomotives into service to replace steam locomotives. These locomotives were built by the Swedish company NOHAB under license from General Motors and were equipped with EMD diesel engines. The Di 3a had distinctive rounded cabs and was used for both passenger and freight trains on the Norwegian rail network. The locomotives remained in service for decades, and several examples have been preserved as museum locomotives since their retirement.
