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,
I'm Geraint Hughes from Ely in England, and I model a fictitious Danish Private Railway in P87 scale. I like the way you have planned this layout and I think it will provide lots of good operating potential. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more posts from you.
Best wishes from the Ribe-Gram-Vojens Jernbane (RGVJ) to the GFB!
Hi Tore -- I'm Bernhard from Germany, but living in California. In my copious spare time I'm building a HO layout in my garage. It's nice to see your layout and setup develop over time.

I'm building a HO layout with Norwegian prototype as well (Dombås).
Hello everyone, and thank you for your comments :) I will try to update the blog more frequently in the coming months. I am now done with a lot of work that doesn't show (wiring and mounting of Circuitron Tortoises), and will continue with more scenery work!
Hello Tore
My name i Frank and i am living in Denmark
I look for updates almost every day to follow the evolution of this wonderful layout.
I really like the combination of Fremo modules ad a stationary layot.
It seem to be the best of both worlds.
Keep on the good work

Hello Tore,
I'm from Switzerland but I'm a fan of Skandinavia and its railways. At the moment I building a new layout too and I try to implement some typical scaninavian features. In my opinion your layout is one of the best scandinavian layout in the net! Best wishes from the Weineggbahn

Hello,
I'm from Gemrany and am following your activites for more than half a year now.
I stumbled about your posting: Another Fremo-meeting! from march, where I wondered, that an East-German V15 found the way up to Norway and I liked your photos.
I find it interesting to, where all your visitors come from.
Have a nice time and keep on modeling.

Very inspiring! beautifully done. Goes to show that layout size is not important, it's the concept that matters. very impressed with the grass detail, colour scheme, well just about erverything is aboslutely world class. Great work. Keep blogging. I'm in the planning stage of an epoch IV-V DSB (Danish States Railways) industial/harbour layout with both passanger trains and freight operation and have found your work tremendously inpspiring. Christian, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Good to hear from you all, and thanks for your kind words Christian! :)
