This is how ChatGPT interpreted one of the following photos from the day out at Svenn Robert's and Hildegunn's Garden Railway. Guess which one?
August last year Svenn Robert and Hildegunn invited to the Grand Opening of their Garden Railway, Hummelfjellbanen. This year they invited to another running session weekend, and a small group from our Model Railway Club attended. This is about to become an annual late summer gathering bringing together people from different model- and garden railway societies in Norway. Hummelfjell Garden Railway is located 'up north' close to the middle parts of Norway and are therefore a kind of center point for railway modellers from different parts of the country.
Since we were going to a mountain village when the summer is about to end and Svenn Robert is a Citroën mechanic, I brought a train loaded with propper vehicles:
Here are some photos and video of our great day(s) out:
Svenn Robert's Fiddleyard is well executed
As usual barbecue, coffee, cakes and a lot of fun:
It's a prototype for everything:
Thank you Svenn Robert and Hildegunn for inviting us and for your warm hospitality.
The date for next year is already decided and reserved. I hope even more Garden Railway modellers will attend next year.
Thank you Maudlin Jack. The green steam engine is a Darjeeling 'C' Class by Roundhouse and belongs to the Railway manager him self. It has several similarities to engines used on the local railway, Rørosbanen. The timber wagons has Svenn Robert scratchbuilt.
Thank you Mark. I think the the cartoonish-style of the photo have similarities to the 'Lieutenant Blueberry ' strips. The variety of engines and rollingstock just represent all our different approaches to this wonderful hobby.
Some lovely engines and rolling stock Roger - I particularly like the green steam engine towards the end.

DeleteThe Chat GPT rendering of the original photograph works really well. An interesting variety of locomotives and running stock. .
