I have looked everywhere and it seems as if the Flam railway tickets are the most expensive part of the NIAN tour. Trying to book a train from Flam to Myrdal and it is over $100/person is this correct or am I missing something? Trying to do a diy Nutshell tour but that leg is killing any savings I would have. Thanks keep on traveling!

Are you looking at the vy.no site? The regular fare is 538nok (currently $53US).
However, if you are traveling to or from Oslo you should purchase the ticket as a single journey from Flåm to Oslo. Depending on availability fares from Flåm to Myrdal to Oslo can be as low as around $60US.
When are you traveling? Tickets that include the Myrdal Oslo portion usually go on sale 90-120 days prior to travel.

I may have been looking at first class tickets. I will look again in the morning.

In the winter months the single fare Flam to Myrdal is even lower than 538Kr- at 399Kr.
The only line in Norway to have seasonal fares, because most of it's traffic is tourists.

The Flåmsbana, the train between Flåm and Myrdal, is all one class.
The train from Myrdal to Oslo offers standard and Comfort class.
If you are DIY the Nutshell, you need to book the train segments on the vy.no site. Prices will be quoted and paid in NOK, not USD.

I think I got it all figured out I don't know what the heck I was doing wrong. To add to the complication it looks like they're working on the railway line during our planned day on the nutshell. It looks as if though we might have to take a bus about halfway between Myrdal and Oslo going into Oslo.
I think I got it all figured out it was just a little confusing.
Totally looking forward to this it's going to be exciting.
