GN lives in Sweden
On line switching in Orsa in May 2002. One of the TÅGAB.s TMY.s and a T43 was repainted in full GN paint and lettering for movie job, and both have remained in that color ever since. As the single train on mainline pattern of trafic on the line, ATC is a luxery, and the repainted #106 is the sole unit on TÅGAB that does not have ATC. Making her the perfect lease unit for IBAB.
I know that I said it before, the daily container unittrains betweenSveg and Mora are perhaps the one of the most interesting to observe. Hardly run on schedule, which makes it hard to see it everyday, unless you are a mental case and nothing else to than wait for the train pass. I did say it is one daily train…
The power is a rainrow of colors with IBAB.s own darkred and silver as base. To silver and red or GN paint lettering from TÅGAB, Inlandgods own red white and blue, TGOJ.s light green and silver, or its unrepainted in SJ orange and blue, Banverkets lime yellow… You never know what the power is nextday.
During spring the loads of pulpwood is added to the dwining number of containers. Te pulpwood movements are bit hard to explain as the loads and empties are heading on both directions. During the winter these are as separate trains, hauled by a leased T43. or sometimes by IBAB.s own TMX. Both as the container loads drops down to a handful, one train will haul both containers and pulpwood. Usually during this season one unit is enough to provide the muscle.
By the way, the second unit is IBAB.s own #1014 and models of the both units have been offered by Heljan in H0-scale. So there are at least two pairs of these both in the area, the second is sitting on a track on my desk, waiting to haul some containers
