ÅmÅJ was unsuccessful in its purchase of engines, which lead to some of its later problems. The railway had hoped to buy a type J engine from SJ, but SJ was unwilling to sell any. Engines 9 and 301, which were originally purchased during the construction phase, were planned to be used for running trains; however, the inspection authority (Vatten- och Väg?? VoV) did not pass the engines. Number 9 had been planned to make the run up to Kättilsbyn. Not having that engine available lead to problem with how to get passengers the two kilometers there and back again to the mainline at Hallanda. Before the purchase of the railbus, a train would arrive in Hallanda, then, full of passengers, it would run up to Kättilsbyn and back again to then start on its journey.
Engines 14 and 15 were too large for
the railway - they were too powerful and used too much coal: however, HNJ did
not want to continue leasing the engines and ÅmÅJ needed something, so they were forced
to buy them. ÅmÅJ bought several more inappropriate engines, but was not able to
use them, but instead had to use over dimensioned ones. Engine 9 was
occasionally used on the mainline when the other engines were in for repair.
