...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 feel like a gardener these days. Now it's the area open area on the middle section of Grimstad that has received some basic greenery. I need some good looking trees here, and some weeds in the road, and it'll be complete.
What products did you use for the grass? Is it static grass or Silflor? Can you give a tutorial on how you did the grass? These things would be very helpful.
Hello Perry! Here I've used various products from Heki and Woodland. First I painted the surface green, then I laid out HEKI1843 in patches, and filled in the "holes" with HEKI1574. Then I smoothed the transitions between these mats with Woodland Scenics Fine Turf (green blend and burnt grass) and natural soil. The bushes on top of it all is Mininatur birch foliage (910-22). Maybe I'll make a tutorial when I've got the time :) Thanks for posting!
