New scenery shots from Grimstad

This Morris Minor has to be brand new as it's extremely clean, and for some reason it has no numberplates!

A Cmdeo 10 from NSB is handling today's passenger service between Grimstad and Rise.

It seems the owner of this rowing boat don't care about it's appearance anymore.

No news is good news?

Well I guess in this case this saying is not entirely true. But I have at least started the indoor season now, so updates will be more frequent from now on. Not much to show for so far, but the modules will receive a scenery upgrade. the picture shows a little experiment with weeds from Polak Model.

The find of a lifetime - old footage from Grimstad!

Forget Zapruder's film of the Kennedy assasination, forget the footage from the lunar landing - this little clip beats them all! It's a small film from the very last train leaving from Grimstad in 1961. This answers a lot of questions I've had about Grimstad station; the station building itself, colours and lots of other small small details that doesn't appear in any of the photos I have.

I managed to take this picture of a NSB Skd214 while it was busy doing some swithcing in Grimstad. Normally all the freight trains and switching is taken care of by GFB, so what this norwegian state railway engine is doing down here I haven't been able to find out.

Springtime

It's spring, and it's that time of the year again. The time that I delve into the depths of our garage to make this thing here ready for this seasons racing. First race of the season this coming Sunday. Hence no model railroading updates lately :)
