In 1959 a total of 19 electric locomotives started to pull iron ore to the coast in Sweden. These were at the time the most powerful electric locomotives in Europe (the world?).

Very impressive power

That's a great engine.  It's an electric that looks like a diesel and runs like a steam engine. I think the Splitrock Mining Company might get a couple to try out. Now who knows how to string up HO scale overhead wires?

Hi! Thank you for the

Hi!

Thank you for the positive feedback!
​Never mind the overhead wires.. I just have the poles. The wire would be like 0.00001" thick in H0 and creates a lot of problems during operation of the layout, so I decided not to use it on my new layout..

2 orders of magnitude

2 orders of magnitude among friends is nothing but three is harder to overlook.  The wire in HO would be 1000 times bigger than .00001"
