NSB coach B7-4 27007 in Bergen, 2005-08-12. |

NSB coach B7-5 27015 in Bergen, 2005-08-12. The B7-5 has a bicycle compartment at the end. As this is not accessible for passengers, this coach always runs at the front or end of a train, or together with a luggage car (as seen here). |

Interior of the NSB B7-5 27019, line Oslo - Bergen, 2005-08-15. The door that you see at the end is usually locked - the bicycle compartment is behind. The seats are comfortable, but worn down after a few years of use. By the way it's not required any more to reserve seats in these trains - but as there are no signs for a reserved seat, you may have to change seats several times if somebody with a reservation comes in. |
NSB coach B7-6 27048 in Bergen, 2005-08-12.
Difference between B7-4 and B7-6: The B7-6 has standard rubber gangways on one end, to be coupled to the FR7 (bistro) which has the same rubber gangways so that it can be coupled to sleeping-cars in the night. That is because some express trains are split up in the evening, and a few cars including bistro become part of the night train. The B4 has airtight gangways which are not compatible to the rubber gangways. |

NSB express train Oslo - Bergen leaving Oslo S, track 4. The train consists
of B7, AB7 and FR7 cars, whose shape is unmistakable, and is pulled by the
El 18 2242. Originally it was planned to install a tilting system on
these passenger cars, but this was never done and later NSB decided to get
new tilting EMUs instead. Notice to photographers: don't use flash when it
snows, unless you want an effect like this. 2000-12-29

NSB train Bergen - Oslo, consisting of "B7-generation" rolling stock, leaving Finse on 2005-08-14. |
Gangway between two NSB B7 coaches, line Bergen - Oslo, 2005-08-14. The airtight gangways were something new for the B7 generation. Unfortunately, unlike SIG-II gangways, they cannot be coupled to standard rubber gangways, which means that some "transition cars" (B7-6 and FR7-3) had to be created (probably by rebuilding). |
