These pictures were taken as a result the work being done to improve the Bergen line. I was staying in Oslo and wanted to travel to Myrdal to say I had travel all of the Bergen line. Early train from Oslo to Mrydal, quick walk across the platform to catch the Oslo train back, both journeys in daylight, perfect. Engineering work on the new cut off caused us to be delayed and as soon as our train cleared the points, my connection moves off before we had stopped. With several hours before the next train, what to do? Only one thing for it, a quick dash for the Flam train. It was a beautiful September day. This was 1990 the line had not been "improved" and still had a charm all of it's own. The El9s had gone, but Skd 207. 3 was still working. Happy days.

I still think that this would make a great little scratch-build project. Motor bogie, split spoke wagon wheels and some plastic...
