The Grimstad Line: January 2008

It's June 1965...

...and the privately owned railway company GFB (Grimstad Frolands Banen) is operating a small strech of track from the norwegian coastal town of Grimstad up to Rise, some 20 kilometers into the country. There it meets the NSB (Norwegian state railways) line from Arendal. NSB still runs passenger trains on the Grimstad Line, but all the freight is now handeled by the GFB. In real life, the Grimstad Line was closed down in 1961, but in my imagination, and in my layout room, it survived and we're now in 1965.

Please join me in my quest to replicate this sleepy little railroad. Any comments on my work are most welcome!

More FREMO work

I have to finish this Fremo-module in time for the Fremo meet in Arendal in March. Now everything is starting to take shape. I have used several new scenery techiques as a test before I begin in earnest on the new Grimstad Line layout.
