I'll do my post in two parts: the trains around Bergen and the Flåm Railway.
Part 1:
 |
| There were a lot of NSB class 69 electric multiple units around Bergen. |
 |
| gangway with semi-permanent coupling |
 |
| detail of same coupling |
 |
 |
Why they have the buffers in addition to what appears to be a variant of the Scharfenberg coupling is beyond me.

| cab. Dunno what the wheel is. |

| Nice modern gangway! |

| gangway |
Part 2:
 |
| 1st stop: waterfall |
 |
| I'll let mummy do her own post on this one. |
 |
| you can see the railway at three different levels to the left in this photo |
 |
| Almost straight down... |
 |
| waterfall again |
 |
| slam doors (!) |
 |
| note the standard 5mm-thick coating of lubricant on the buffers |
 |
| Mind the gap! |
 |
| better view of the slam doors |
 |
| See Mummy's post... |
 |
| more conventional gangway |
 |
| hand brake |
 |
| gangway |
 |
| slam door latch |
p.s. After much wait, we determined that "Flåm" is pronounced, more or less, "flumme".
