Whats the name of this train?

[Sascha]

Anyone knows the name of this train?Is it available as a n Gauge? Looks awesome.

It's a Norwegian high speed train based on their Airport Express train (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flytoget) .. I can't quite remember the name of the service, don't even know if they still use that name.

 

There are models of it, but they're mostly hand crafted, very limited and not really affordable :)

 

 

Edit:

Found a little more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSB_Class_73

 

The service used to be called "Signatur", but they abandoned that for some reason. The Flytoget is actually a very nice train, I travelled on it quite often.

 

An interesting bit is that apparently a Dutch company was contracted to service/refurbish the train sets, which is funny considering the mess that is the Fyra v250 :)

The picture Sascha posted is an unrefurbished NSB type 73, the Flytoget (literally 'fly train') is run by the GMB type 71. The main differences are that they're owned by different companies and that the first has 4 cars and the latter 3 cars.

There's nothing funny about that Martijn, because the NSB trains will be refurbished by the former overhaul division of the Dutch railways, now called NedTrain. The V250 was built by AnsaldoBreda and had nothing to do with NedTrain at all. I read somewhere that the NSB decided to contract NedTrain because of the visible results of the complete overhaul of the DDAR trains into DDZ trains.

Flytoget (literally 'fly train') 

 

Fly means airplane, not fly.

 

H0 models of some of the versions are available from here:

Bummer. Thanks for the info guys.

Fly-to-get..

 

Btw why dont go for scratchbuilding? Just need a styrene, cutter, super glue, putty, paint, and you can make everything.

 

you still needs chassis, bogies, and couplers though..

 

this guy made thousand of scratchbuilt trains, and he shared some how-to's.. Just click on the build tips tab.
