...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!
I've just started getting some "green stuff" around Grimstad. This is the work I really love to do. I'm using a mix of mainly Woodland Scenics and Heki materials with some Silflor thrown in here and there.
I really look forward to when this whole section is complete. It'll be the centerpiece of my layout.
The roof on the house is now in place, and I've started adding some details. It still needs a lot of work until it's completely done. Here it is trying out it's place at Grimstad.
