Did a search but found no reference to this preserved line in Norway, inland from Kristiansand.

 

A side-visit as part of a Baltic cruise allowed a visit to this 3'6" gauge line running along the Otra river valley, with a max gradient of 1:83 (12%). Built in late 1890s with hope of converting to standard gauge, but remained NG.

 

A few pics taken with a 4mega pixel digital camera...
