Description

Roco 6600385 H0 – LKAB 4-Piece Ore Car Set 1, Era VI

Would you like to build a Scandinavian ore train that stands out not only for its length but also for its distinctive color scheme? The Roco 6600385 Ore Car Set brings four LKAB cars from Era VI to your H0 model railroad. A car painted in rainbow colors makes this set a real eye-catcher—whether in a passing freight train or on a display track in your collection.

A rainbow-colored car as a special accent

The multicolored design creates a vibrant contrast among the ore cars. Set 1 thus offers an interesting starting point for model railroaders who want to expand their freight fleet with an unusual vehicle variant. For example, place the set on a clearly visible station track before it sets off on its next journey.

A Design with a Real-World Background

In December 2023, LKAB unveiled an ore car in rainbow colors. The company intended this as a visible symbol of diversity and a work environment where people feel welcome regardless of their origin, religion, or gender identity. The eye-catching color scheme is thus based on a real-life story.

Four ore cars in two matching car groups

The set includes two so-called master-slave car groups of the F 050 class. The four cars are thus organized into two pairs; coupling rods are used to connect them. This configuration reflects the concept of matched transport units and forms the basis for your LKAB ore train.

The Prototype: Ore Transport Between Mines and Seaports

LKAB transports its iron ore products via the Swedish Malmbanan and the Norwegian Ofotbanen to the ports of Luleå and Narvik. From there, the ore is transported onward to customers. The railroad thus connects the mining and processing sites with international shipping.

LKAB uses IORE locomotives for these heavy hauls. A corresponding H0 twin-engine locomotive is therefore an ideal choice for this theme. For example, you could design an electrified route through rocky terrain or a freight yard where your ore train is waiting to continue its journey.

Expansion with Additional LKAB Ore Cars

To create a longer train set, the Roco 6600386 Ore Car Set 2—which has also been announced—is a suitable addition. When forming the train, adjust the couplers, wheel sets, and the respective manufacturer’s specifications to fit your layout. Also, make sure to provide sufficiently long siding tracks and account for your locomotive’s tractive effort.

Contents and Use on Your Model Railroad

The car set includes four LKAB ore cars in the configuration described. You select the locomotive separately. This makes the set suitable both as a starting point for a new ore train and as an addition to an existing collection of Scandinavian freight cars.

Whether you collect unusual color variations or want to recreate Era VI ore transport: This car combination combines both. Pre-order the Roco 6600385 Ore Car Set 1—announced for 2027—in the model railroad shop and give your next LKAB train a special splash of color!
