LKAB IORE 134 + 113 – one of the most powerful electric locomotives in the world

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.

Particularly well-known are the heavy ore trains on the Malmbanan, the ore railway connecting the Swedish mining areas around Kiruna with the ports of Luleå and Narvik. 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.

Revised Roco model with a new electric coupler

Roco presents the IORE 134 + 113 double locomotive in a technically revised version. A special highlight is the PluX22 interface, integrated for the first time, which provides a modern foundation for the extensive digital features.

The connection between the two locomotive halves has also been redesigned. A new electrical coupler connects the two vehicle units and enables electrical connectivity within the double locomotive.

The characteristic design of the IORE, with its two permanently joined locomotive halves, is complemented by numerous finely crafted details. Particularly noteworthy are the separately attached windshield wipers, which lend the striking cab fronts a three-dimensional effect.

The pantographs have also been designed with exceptional delicacy and underscore the high-quality design of the roof equipment. These details really come into their own when viewed up close.

Two powerful motors and twelve driven axles

An outstanding technical feature of the Roco IORE is its exceptional drive system. The double-unit 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.

DCC Sound with Two Large Speakers

The Roco 7510180 comes factory-equipped with a DCC sound decoder and features a PluX22 interface. The sound system is equipped with two large speakers, which ensure a particularly effective reproduction of the locomotive’s sounds.

The integrated sound functions accompany your train journeys with appropriate operational sounds and add an extra acoustic dimension to the powerful double-unit locomotive.

Imagine the IORE 134 + 113 waiting to depart at Kiruna Station with a long ore train in front of it. After the car set has been coupled up, the double locomotive slowly begins to move, accompanied by appropriate ambient sounds, and pulls its heavy train through the northern Swedish landscape.

The combination of powerful drive technology and digital sound is particularly impressive during slow starts with long ore trains.

Extensive digital lighting functions for realistic operation

The Roco IORE 134 + 113 also offers extensive lighting features. The dual-locomotive set features LED headlights with direction-dependent lighting that cycles between three white headlights and two red taillights.

In digital mode, various lighting functions can be selectively activated. These include the shunting light, the high beam, and the head and tail lights.

In addition, the model features digitally controllable LED cab lighting. This ensures a realistic depiction of the cab areas, especially when the layout lighting is dimmed.

The various lighting functions allow for a variety of operating scenarios, such as when preparing an ore train, during shunting operations at the loading yard, or during a nighttime run on the ore railway.

The Prototype—the IORE Double Locomotives of Sweden’s LKAB

The IORE double locomotives were originally developed by Adtranz, whose rail vehicle business was later absorbed into 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.

The ideal locomotive for long LKAB ore trains of Era VI

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, 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.

Scandinavian ore railway atmosphere on your H0 layout

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.

The Roco 7510180 is designed for digital operation on H0 two-wire DC layouts. To use the extensive sound and lighting functions, you’ll need a compatible DCC digital controller.

A special highlight for LKAB and heavy-haul train fans

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 rail 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 first-ever integrated PluX22 interface, and the sound system with two large speakers underscore the high-quality character of this redesigned double-unit locomotive.

The delicate pantographs, separately mounted windshield wipers, and extensive digital lighting functions also make the IORE 134 + 113 an impressive collector’s item and operational model.
