...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!
It's spring, and it's that time of the year again. The time that I delve into the depths of our garage to make this thing here ready for this seasons racing. First race of the season this coming Sunday. Hence no model railroading updates lately :)

Hi! Here is Andrea (male) from Rome, Italy. I'm enthusiast of trains and, also, racing cars, especially the '60 ones. But in Italy it's very difficult to race, because it's too expensive! My layout is named Valpambiana (the Pambiano Valley) and with this word you can find something in internet about me! I hope see news about your GFB layout soon!
