It´s a class Ka, a 0-6-0 just as you thought. There are very big differences between temperatures in the northern and the southern parts of Sweden during winter (Sweden is 1500 miles long) and I don´t know if these engines were used in the Northern parts. Probably it wasn´t so healthy to spend to much time in the open cab.

Thanks, Rikard, makes more sense that way. I'm guessing the climate of southern Sweden is much like that of Denmark, since they are so close? Influenced by the jetstream?

It's all very nice btw. When did the Swedish railways become totally non-steam?

That´s right Matthew, we are living in Malmo just opposit Copenhagen, and the two cities are connected by a bridge.
I think the last steam engines were used in the early seventies.

Maybe you can find something interesting on this swedish forum.

Of course the language is swedish but there are also a lot of pictures. I will try to come back to you later with some more.
