Those locos working in a really hard conditions. Like fifteen years ago i was on one of these locos, when we were visiting one of those coal mines near Nové Sedlo u Lokte, when i was studying. In this video u can see them on a classic rail network. But we see them, when they were on its mission...on surface of the mine itself, in many levels...they are using portable tracks and electric lining. That is why they were build, many years ago, from three blocks and every axle is powered...to minimalize the issue of derailment in those very very hard conditions...they like drifting with the wagons on a very primitive rails...but it has a point...you can move the rails and the electric lines straight to the place where the coal is mined by a few hours...

Beautiful locos, I have to admit. Last year, I was in Třebušice in person. Since I'm a Czech from Prague, I do not have it far away. The conditions these locomotives work in are tough, I mean REALLY tough. But beautiful. They bring the coal from the mines to coal processing plant (úpravna uhlí Komořany) and then distribute it all across Czechia and Europe. It is a shame that these locos will not last for a long - these mines are closing soon (I think the ČSA mine is currently at the process of closing).

There is greater chance that Tillig will make one in 1:120, or perhaps some small Czech manufacturer will produce limited number of those. But while railway modelling is more or less popular hobby in Czechia (I could be biased a little bit), people do not exactly model industrial railways of Northern Bohemia, nor industrial railways in general, maybe save for some narrow gauge stuff, but rather normal railway. So it perhaps never came to anybody's mind to produce model of electric industrial locomotive.

Coal trains are important and will become the backbone of our planetary energy supply within a couple of decades, when stockpiles of oil, gas and uranium will be depleted. Coal can replace ever hdrocarbon compound and the ash from coal power plants is a rich source of uranium. And coal will last for about 400 years, while the collapse of the planetary climate might come after about 500 years.Therefore, we don't have to worry about climate change.
