New Addition - NSB Wooden Coaches - Era I-III - NMJ Topline - 2024 release
Now that the layout is up and running I finally get to do something I would have wanted to do at the start of 2025. Today we are going to have a look at NSB (Norwegian State Railways) coaches I bought as a present to myself last Christmas. They were released by a company called NMJ in 2024, so obviously not Märklin, not made in the 1980s, and firmly outside of my collection theme. Why I got them will become clear in this video. These coaches were made for a 2-rail system, so they might require a bit of work to run properly on the layout. Let’s see if this turns into another integration hell moment.
Enjoy!

Auto-dubbing:
I have activated the feature but the translation is not optimal (as of June 2025) and is likely to lead to confusion. Use at your own risk... The use of subtitles, based on English United Kingdom, is highly recommended. Please feel free to leave some feedback on your experience. You can choose the language of the audio track under settings (the wheel icon) in the bottom right hand corner of the video viewer.
