Thema

This years meeting will be the NSB Nordlandsbanen (Norwegian State Railways, Northlandsline) around 1975-1985 as it theme. This is the NoHAB diesel (Di3) real habitat. Our clubs main atraction, the model of Bodø Station, will off course be a part of the layout. The mainline is not electrified so only diesel or museumsteam will be "accepted". A electrified sideline can be possible, and is prototypical as the industrial sideline at Mo i Rana were electrified at that time (now closed and demolished).
