...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!
Work continues slowly on the new and revised area around Grimstad station. I have also added a black "skirt" under Grimstad which enhances the overall look nicely. Here is a picture of how the three sections look when you enter my layout room.

Tore, could you please lead me to more photos of this "old" version of Grimsted? It has a lot of charm...
Hello Franco! Yes I really like this picture of the old Grimstad modules. Unfortunately I haven't got too many overview pictures of it. There are, however, some pictures of it on my "gallery" pages, and on the old website: http://www.autoclassic.no/amjk/grimstad/
