Many thanks for making this grand video of this magnificent little railway. This week I have just put a video on CZcams, on WooWooMad, of the Setsdalsbanen taken back in 2010. Mine doesn't campare to the wonderful HD that you have use but I hope my video also shows what you have projected that this is a smashing little railway to visit. Very nice job ! Very best wishes, WooWooMad.
Glad you like the video. I see that you got to go in the cab. It was so busy when I went that I couldn't get in. The best video is on their own channel. Very professionally filmed.

Thanks for letting us see part of your holiday. I love Norway, been there about 4 times, but never seen this!
It doesn't seem well advertised. I'm not entirely sure how they pay for upkeep as they don't seem to do many runs. The area is lovely and I might well go back. There was very little time go there on the cruise and I would love to walk the area a bit.
This is lovely. I really enjoyed it ☺️
Cheers buddy. 😁
Wonderful. The Norwegian narrow gauge had some locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, but sadly none of them survived. They were handsome machines that would've added to the appeal of this already beautiful preserved line.
That's sad. They would have certainly been a great addition to the rolling stock. A real shame.
Wow
12:50 What he was doing here was securing the points. Theres a clamp with a lock on it to keep it from beeing moved by anyone who's not associated with the line.
I can see why that would be needed. The points are very exposed at that location right next to a road and could easily be tampered with. Cheers
