In the "crew lounge" I've displayed some old models and railroadiana. The big cars in the display case are early 1930's Lionel cars I've inherited from my grandmother.

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!

Hi Tore,
The room looks really nice. Well done.

Wow...nicely focused and understated...no one element of the hobby overwhelms the others.
Thanks! It's nice to get comments like these :) Operating session #2 is coming up soon, so I hope I'll be able to post some more shortly.
Classi=y inspiring work - I'm very jealous of your railway room too!
Thanks! I am a great fan of your work as well. I check your site several times a week :)
That sure is a room to envy, not to mention its contents ! Very impressive :)
