Some screenshots from a winter afternoon on the MSTS version of the Flåm Railway in Norway. Tracks and terrain are almost complete, but much work on trackside objects remains. The route should be available sometime in 2002 "The train journey from Myrdal to Flåm is a railway experience unparalleled in Europe; 20km long with a descent of 865m, 20 tunnels with a total length of almost 6000m and a gradient of one to 18. To cope with the enormous change in height over such a short stretch, the line runs partly through tunnels which spiral in and out of the mountainside. The gradient is quite exceptional for an ordinary normal-gauge railway not using cog wheels."They are not kidding! Even in MSTS it is very hard to keep this train on track going downhill. The trainset featured is a repaint by Jan Tore Elvheim of Mats Strids LittRC set. Today EL-17's are used on this line, but the color and design is correct.More screenshots: http://www.kasparius.com/flaambeta3/ Info on the prototype: http://www.ifi.uio.no/~terjek/rail/network/flaam.html
