    Wasn’t expecting to see the 66 in Norway :D, I know people have been asking for one in a different livery ;)

    Personally Norway would be a cool location to see, especially something around Oslo Central.

    though your measurements don’t seem right, 9 miles is a “little bit” smaller than 14 thousand + Km

    I'd love this! Specially because I live here! Unfortunately, I didn't get much opportunity to see the trains. But still, Scandinavian route especially norway would be EPIC.

    Sorry about the measurement, was doing some research on it all and think there was clearly some confusion. The 66 is used in quite a few european countries which took me by surprise that I recently learned! A work horse of a unit, would be great to see it through the snow!

    That's one bad-ass looking train. Would absolutely love to see a route in a new country with a train like this.

    Excellent idea overall and maximum line speed 130 mph 210 kmh. Because this was the first high-speed line in Norway speaking of this
    The game see this as a version of Southeast high speed class 66. Same as it's German version the DB Baureihe 266. Remember the front cab has the train protection system switch although it's the Norwegian ATC replacing the AWS TPWS.

    If we have the new Class-78 (Flytoget) CargoNet uses a Railpool 187 for the jet fuel train. Image attached.

    VY has both the Class-74 and Class-75 which is the same train except interior. These run on the line:
    RE10/RE11/R12/R13/R14.

    Also Go Ahead runs from Oslo Central Station to Drammen with Class-73 and El-18 with passenger wagons.

    There is cab views of the line(s) but not from 1 driver. I don't think Flytoget allows cab rides (nor does VY afaik)

    First you have a video here of Drammen - Oslo (Drammen starts at 1:27:17)


    Then you have an SJ video from Oslo - Oslo Airport (Starts at 00:00 - around 27:00)

    Would be really great to see Oslo to the Airport and to Drammen would be the best idea in my view, sounds like there could be some layers with it provided DTG could get the licences with the 66 & 187. Norway would be a great addition to TSW.

    hard to decided which is my favourite of the 2 on the 71 or 78 :) I don’t know what the likely hood of this route could be but it’s certainly got me very interested in it :)
