Good Afternoon! What a day! We had a temperature jump up to the proximity of 20°C, making my BP to go the opposite direction. It´s in the basement right now and has no intention to come up again. I went to see my doc about those dizzy spells I keep on having. As it looks, they are due to some of my medication, which has to be changed or even stopped. We will see. I am not giving much thought to that, whatever will happen, happens! Started to watch some videos on MRVP. There is a series about building a On30 looging layout called Olympia Logging. That´s a wonderful small layout, which both fits my needs and my space! Had I known this earlier... A new face in here - a big [#welcome] to you, Erie-Diamond! Flo, get that man a [B] or a[D], whatver he likes to have! There was some talk about moveing the Diner to a new location each month. Some of you may remeber that I moved the Diner to interesting places to visit and provided Photos and videos on that location. This is quite an effort to do so and I am afraid I won´t be able to do that regularly. We have not yet chosen a location for this month, so let´s go to a rather exotic place this time - Norway! Norway has lots to see in terms of railroading. The most spectacular train rides are certainly <ul> <li>Flamsbana (Flam to Myrdal)</li> <li>Bergensbana (Oslo to Bergen)</li> <li>Malmbana from Kiruna to Narvik</li> </ul> Let´s have a look at the Flamsbana today. The Flåm Line (Norwegian: Flåmsbana) is a 20.2-kilometer (12.6 mi) long railroad line between Myrdal and Flåm in Aurland, Norway. A branch line of the Bergen Line, it runs through the valley of Flåmsdalen and connects the mainline with Sognefjord. The line's elevation difference is 863 meters (2,831 ft); it has ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 percent (1:18). Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flåm Line is now almost exclusively a tourist service and has become the third-most visited tourist attraction in Norway.

Norway has a small but very active model railroad manufacturer called NMJ, which stands for <a href="http://en.nmj.eu/?___store=de_en&___from_store=default" target="_blank">Norsk Model Jernbane A/S</a> Very nice models, but not on the cheap!
