Are you looking for an exceptionally powerful electric locomotive that brings heavy Scandinavian ore transport to your H0 model railroad layout with impressive technology and prototypical details? The Roco 7500180 replicates the powerful IORE 134 + 113 double locomotive of the Swedish Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB). This technically revised Era VI model impresses with two powerful motors, twelve driven axles, a new electric coupler between the locomotive halves, and—for the first time—an integrated PluX22 interface. Delicate pantographs, separately attached windshield wipers, and an impressive overall length of 525 mm make this double-unit locomotive a special highlight for enthusiasts of heavy freight trains.
The IORE electric double-unit locomotive is one of the most powerful freight locomotives in the world. It was developed specifically for transporting heavy iron ore trains on the Swedish Ore Railway and is one of the best-known vehicles in Scandinavian rail freight transport.
With a power output of more than 10 megawatts and a length of just under 46 meters, the twelve-axle IORE double locomotive is designed for exceptionally heavy train loads. These locomotives transport large quantities of iron ore from the mining regions of northern Sweden to major export ports.
The heavy ore trains on the Malmbanan—the ore railway connecting the Swedish mining areas around Kiruna with the ports of Luleå and Narvik—are particularly well-known. Here, the powerful locomotives must deliver enormous transport performance under demanding climatic conditions.
With the Roco IORE 134 + 113, you can bring this fascinating high-performance locomotive to your model railroad layout in 1:87 scale and authentically recreate the impressive Swedish ore transport operations.
Roco presents the IORE 134 + 113 double-unit locomotive in a technically revised version. A special highlight is the PluX22 interface, integrated for the first time, which provides a modern foundation for future digital retrofitting.
The connection between the two locomotive halves has also been redesigned. A new electrical coupler connects the two vehicle units, enabling electrical connectivity within the double locomotive.
The characteristic design of the IORE, with its two matching locomotive halves, is complemented by numerous finely crafted details. Particularly noteworthy are the separately attached windshield wipers, which lend the distinctive cab fronts a three-dimensional effect.
The pantographs have also been designed with exceptional delicacy, underscoring the high-quality design of the roof equipment. These details really come into their own when viewed up close.
An outstanding technical feature of the Roco IORE is its exceptional drive technology. The double locomotive is equipped with two motors that together provide high tractive force.
All twelve axles are powered. Four axles are equipped with traction tires, which ensure reliable power transfer to the rails. This makes the model particularly well-suited for use at the head of long and heavy ore transport trains.
An integrated flywheel contributes to smooth running and supports harmonious motion. The high-performance design enables impressive runs with extensive freight car sets.
The specified minimum curve radius is 419 mm. Due to its exceptional length and design, it is recommended for use on spacious H0 layouts with suitable track radii.
With a length over the buffers of 525 mm, the Roco IORE is an impressive sight on your model railroad layout even without any ore cars attached.
The Roco 7500180 is designed for analog operation on H0 two-wire DC layouts. Via the PluX22 interface—integrated for the first time in this model variant—the double-decker locomotive can be retrofitted with a suitable digital decoder if desired.
The model features LED headlights with direction-dependent lighting that cycles between three white headlights and two red taillights. This replicates the characteristic appearance of the powerful ore-hauling locomotive even during analog operation.
The option for digital retrofitting offers additional flexibility for model railroaders who wish to convert their layout to digital operation at a later date. A factory-installed digital decoder or sound module is not included with this analog version.
The IORE double locomotives were originally developed by Adtranz, whose rail vehicle business was later absorbed by Bombardier Transportation. These powerful machines were specifically designed to meet the unique demands of heavy iron ore transport in northern Sweden.
The twelve-axle double locomotives consist of two interconnected six-axle locomotive halves. With a total power output of more than 10,000 kW, they are among the most powerful electric locomotives in European freight transport.
The locomotives, approximately 46 meters long, were developed for transporting particularly heavy ore trains. Thanks to their high tractive effort, they can haul significantly larger loads than older generations of locomotives.
By 2014, a total of 17 IORE double locomotives had been put into service. Their deployment enabled a significant increase in transport capacity and helped reduce the costs of transporting iron ore by rail.
The locomotives operate on the approximately 536-kilometer-long ore railway line connecting the Swedish mining regions with the major ports of Luleå and Narvik.
With their exceptional performance and distinctive double-unit design, the IORE locomotives have become a symbol of modern Scandinavian heavy-haul rail transport.
Would you like to build a Swedish ore train that’s as prototypical as possible? The Roco IORE 134 + 113 provides an excellent foundation for this.
Combine the powerful dual-locomotive set, for example, with modern LKAB ore cars of the F 050 class. The matching Roco ore car sets, which consist of several master-slave car groups, are particularly well-suited for this purpose.
By combining several ore car sets, you can gradually build a long ore transport train that reflects the impressive scale of Swedish heavy-haul rail transport.
The IORE looks particularly impressive in front of an extensive ore car set on an electrified main line featuring wide curves, rocky landscapes, and typical Scandinavian vegetation.
A replica ore loading station with large silos, conveyor systems, and several freight tracks also provides a fitting backdrop for this extraordinary double-engine locomotive.
With the Roco IORE 134 + 113, you can recreate the unique atmosphere of northern Swedish rail transport on your model railroad layout.
For example, design a route through the rugged landscape of Lapland with rocky mountain slopes, coniferous forests, snowfields, and long electrified sections of track.
A modern ore-loading yard with numerous siding tracks, conveyor systems, and heavy freight trains also provides an impressive backdrop for the IORE double-unit locomotive.
The model features NEM 362 coupler sockets with close-coupling kinematics and can be combined with compatible freight cars.
Thanks to the built-in PluX22 interface, you can retrofit the locomotive for digital operation as needed and integrate it into a modern digital fleet.
The combination of twelve powered axles, two powerful motors, and a total length of 525 mm makes the Roco IORE an exceptional electric locomotive in H0 scale.
Collectors of Scandinavian railroad vehicles, enthusiasts of heavy freight trains, and model railroaders with a focus on modern ore transport will find this model to be particularly true to its real-life counterpart.
The new electric coupling between the locomotive halves, the PluX22 interface—integrated for the first time—and the high-performance drive technology underscore the premium quality of this redesigned double locomotive.
The delicate pantographs, separately attached windshield wipers, and prototypical LED lighting also make the IORE 134 + 113 an impressive collector’s item and operational model.
The package includes a Roco IORE 134 + 113 electric double locomotive from Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) in H0 scale, Era VI, as an analog two-wire DC version with a PluX22 digital interface. The two locomotive halves are connected to each other via a new electric coupling.
Add one of the world’s most powerful electric locomotives to your H0 model railroad layout with the Roco 7500180. Experience the impressive tractive power of the twelve-axle IORE double locomotive, the finely crafted details, and the fascinating atmosphere of Swedish ore transport. Get your hands on this exceptional model and make the IORE 134 + 113 the powerful centerpiece of your Scandinavian freight train fleet!
