Greetings!

My name is Ollie Ahokas and I live in Sewden and I have just finished a couple of websites that might interest you.

First, a page called Ollies Trainstuff, a collection of own photos from Sweden and Norway. If you are not that interested in European, but the EMD.s are just great, there is aplenty of images of Nohab covered wagons which are infact F7,s built after EMD licence, but altered to European standards, and there are few of them running miles in Sweden by some regional operators. Perhaps you wonder how a swedish narrow gauge Mallet looks like?
Right now, I estimate that I have some + 700 images of various motive power on the site.
You will find it on following URL; http:www.olaviahokas.com/trainstuff/

The second is Railscenes by Ollie, and it deals how the prototype handles the common problems of modell railroaders. The problem is as usually the lack of space, all packed with various images detail and overall. The sites are standard gauge to 3-feet narrow gauge.
You will find it on following URL; http:www.olaviahokas.com/railscenes/

Thanks for taking your time

Hi Ollie,
I visited your websites and think they're fabulous! You did an excellent job on them! I live in Canada, but I'm interested in trains from all over the world. After seeing them I feel like packing my bags and taking the first plane the Scandanavia to see the trains there. I'll be sure to visit back often. I'd also like to get a copy of your CD if it's ever available in this country.

I love Scandinavia!

I've been gradually gaining an interest in Norse railroads, to go along with my love for the mythology, poetry, and music (I'm a bigtime fan of Hedningarna, Garmarna, Gjallarhorn, and especially Annbjorg Lien). My Windows desktop, in fact, is a periodically-updated webcam of a train station at Finse:

I have lately realized that my love of everything Norfolk & Western ties into this via the fact that the city name "Norfolk" is a derivation of "Norse Folk". I think at some point, I am going to have to take an extended vacation and tour this region. I have yet to tour my own country by rail, though, so it might be a while...

I haven't seen your sites yet, but rest assured I'm going there next. Thanks for posting!
