I watched it on TV in HD :-D

I had to watch the rerun also, and I loved every minute of it.

Very interesting, and very beautiful, I love it. !*th_up*!

In Germany, the ARD or the ZDF (don't remember) show a program, just before the beginning of the day (at 4 or 5 am), of about half an hour in the same way, with railway lines of every part of the world. I think that there is some DVD, but can not speak german and so, can not understand how to buy it or so...

I ordered a DVD 6 weeks ago on the RRs of Norway from our local library.

I'm still waiting for it.

This thread is just what I needed.
Outstanding sites to look at.

Holy cow! Who, in their right minds, would want to live there??? I guess if you were born there, you didn't have a choice, huh?
It's so drab and colorless. There's no greenery or yellowery or redery and it looks cold as hell, too. Sheesh!

Interesting RR footage, though.

It's correct that the 9 minute long YouTube clip is from the Ice Planet Hoth or Finse where it was filmed. Finse is located at 1222 meters (4009 feet) above sea level.
If you had the opportunity to watch the whole 7+ hours, you would see that Norway is a beautiful country, with a lot of greenery, yellowery and redery.

Instead take a look at this YouTube clip which is from the brand new light railway in Bergen , Norways 2nd largest city.
With station names like Florida and Paradis(e)

This is the entire 27 minute long line

I see there is some beautiful areas in Norway but, I also see everybody is waring heavy clothes. :-?
I never thought about it much but Norway is way up north in cold weather country, I guess. **!!!**
Brrrrr, I like it warm, myself. !*th_up*!

Thanks, Cat :salute:
