My Dm3 arrived today

[steinjr]

Interesting setup , side rod electric ?  Looks like a real beast.

 It is - hefty brutes. The Swedes built quite a few siderod electric engines. The Dm3 was the last (and most powerful in the series).

 Here is a guide to Swedish engines: http://www.jarnvag.net/lokguide/guide.asp (in Swedish, of course - but the pictures are obvious, and so it effect in hp or kW). Siderod engine is called "Koppelstångslok" in Swedish.

Careful that thing doesn't tear your arm right out of its socket, Magnus. 

Is it motored in each unit?  If so, you won't have enough cars to slow it down.

Very interesting set of engines.

The middle one is a dummy. It is made by Roco and they are very strong models both in reality and as models. Not as strong as the IORE though:

There are some additional detail that needs to be fitted but since I got home and just posted this right away I haven't been able to do it yet.
