Introduction
El13.2153 with train 301 to Trondheim (over Røros) at Oslo Sentral
Three versions of the El13 at the Dombås roundhouse.
The Norwegian El13 can be seen as an updated version of the El11. It was an universal locomotive that was used in local, express and freight trains.
Lima made the first version of the El13 in HO. Both NMJ and Hobbytrade followed later and now you can have a very nice collection of El13 models with a model of every colour scheme and type.
