Family Party



Front End Friday Family Party.
A norwegian type Di3, former NSB (Norwegian State Railways), now private owned OBAS 3.632 joines the family in Mobest Yard, Phoenix Arizona.
.. Or, is it the american relatives who have come from far away to Halden, Norway, just under 100 miles north of the Swedish Manufactor NOHAB in Trollhättan? The very same factory that built the Norwegian Di3's.
All of them has EMD 567 diesel engines! Or at least the prototype.
With our model railroads, anything can happen :)
The OBAS engine is the first norwegian I have bought for more than years when I swapped out my norwegian rolling stock with US models.
And this is why this model was a must. The railroad in my hometown Halden is electric territory, end of the InterCity line to Oslo. The OBAS engines was kind of a sensation here in march 2005, pulling a train with paper rolls for export.
