Jippie! I've been at Jädraås Tallås Järnväg (JTJ) and it was great! The JTJ is a 891 mm narrowgauge railway in Gästrikland County and I and some friends got to ride with this itty-bitty little steam train pulled by a realy itty-bitty little engine. I loved it and I realy liked the view! Chuffing by lakes and forests at only 25mph and it was realy bumpy and shaky. If anyone of you would visit Sweden, I advise you to take a ride with this train as it was a great adventure.Visit this site to learn more about the JTJ http://www.jtj.org/english/engelsk.html/JonatanSteam rules!
RE: Jädraås Tallås Järnväg, a great railway adventure.
Magic_maker,The loco does as you say look German but is a typical Swedish design and was quite common on NG and SG tracks trhoughout entire Sweden from quarrys to branch-lines. The spark arrestor was typical for Swedish locos of smaller size. The name of the loco is "Sigbjörn". I hope that a similar loco like this will be made for MSTS as I'm very fond of the little things. I must admit that my hearing is a little bad after this trip as we rode right behind the loco on the wagon platform and the whistle sounds like a real banshee and is very loud. I do however look forward to next year so I can do this again./JonatanSteam rules!
