This (NRSdb) is a database on Norwegian rolling stock, contemporary and historical. NRSdb is made by contributions by its users. Norwegian Railway Club (NJK), Research Dept. administrates the database and tries to ensure sufficient quality on information and pictures. The database is constantly changed. This is the old database which is sucseeded by a new version. This older version will be kept alive for some time, but most additions after summer 2020 will not be shown in this older version.

About Norwegian rolling stock database

This is the database on rolling stock at primarily Norwegian railways, metros and tram lines. The information is constructed from several sources, but pictures are mainly uploaded by users of this database. Norwegian Railway Club (NJK), Research Department is responsible for this service, and tries to maintain good quality on the information mainly, but also on the pictures by evaluating them according to significance for the type of equipment illustrated, but also on technical and estetichal quality. Regrettebly is the number of uploaded pictures greater than the capacity of evalutation. A lot of uploaded pictures are therefore not evaluated at all.

More on the database

As a mean to give memebers of NJK privileges, the database has two levels of use. The first level is public. You get access to information on every item registered, but the volume of this information is to some extent reduced. Number of pictures of one item is restricted to up to three pictures, but you get the three with highest quality rank.

Mebmbers of NJK have full access, and can themselves contribute with pictures and information as well.
