#tertitten

To @little-red-toyota I just want to say thank you very much for everything today. I had a wonderful time on the train up and down the line, getting a chance to have a tour around the railway, for allowing me to enter in the cabs of Holand, Bingsfos and Pyrdz and even letting ride in Bingsfos too. Thank you much for the birthday gifts too, you are awesome!

Høland was posing for wedding photos today. The newly weds had luck with the weather, it has been raining all week, but today it was all bright and sunny.

Say hello to Setskogen!

UHB number 4 Setskogen is the oldest and perhaps wisest on the entire railway. It depends on who you ask of course.

She knows that she is the queen of the railway and is used to getting what she wants and has probably become a little odd and hard headed at her old age. Maybe a little spoiled by the fact that everyone has such great respect for her and treats her like a fragile antique...

Bingsfos thinks she's a little scary, and she does nothing to improve that impression. She uses every opportunity to tease the little diesel locomotive, and might go a little too far sometimes.

Deep down, she likes Bingsfos, because he is the only one who does not care who she is, he is not overly careful or respects her too much. She actually finds it a little refreshing that someone dares to tease her. But of course she will never admit that .... or will she?

Bingsfos knows that she is weak for flattery and he often uses it to make her talk about the old days, even though the flattery is often followed by a poorly hidden insult of her age. And if there's one thing she can not stand, it's to be reminded that she's old.

She may seem grumpy and almost a little mean at times, but as Høland says; "She's good at the bottom, just a shame it's so far down."

And she shows no mercy to those who dares to torment the ones she cares about ...

UHB No.12 Tinfos is a tiny diesel engine, and the smallest locomotive on the railway. You don't see much of her, because she is very timid and shies away.

She thinks that large locomotives are very scary, especially those that run on the Kongsvinger line nearby. Though sometimes she can forget the fear when someone makes her think about where she comes from.

She is still homesick, even if the factory she used to work at has been shut down for many years. She's happy at Tertitten, and despite the fact that she is very shy, she has managed to make some good friends anyway.

She lives in a shed at Bingsfoss station together with a strange vehicle called Kvabben, which we may get to know better later in the story.

Tinfos' big hero is Odda and she follows them as often as she can, but it doesn't seem like the admiration is mutual, so she can feel a little overlooked.

UHB Nr.12 Tinfos er et lite diesellok, og det minste lokomotivet på banen. Man ser ikke så mye til henne, for hun er nemlig veldig sjenert og gjemmer seg.

Hun synes at store lokomotiver er kjempeskumle, særlig de som kjører på Kongsvingerbanen like ved siden av, men noen ganger kan hun glemme frykten når noen får henne til å tenke på hvor hun kommer fra.

Hun har fortsatt hjemmelengsel selv om fabrikken hun jobbet på ble nedlagt for mange år siden, men hun trives egentlig veldig godt på Tertitten, og til tross for at hun er veldig sjenert har hun klart å få noen gode venner likevel.

Hun bor i et skur på Bingsfoss stasjon sammen med et underlig kjøretøy som heter Kvabben, som vi kanskje skal bli bedre kjent med senere i historien.

Tinfos' store helt er Odda og hun følger etter hen så ofte hun kan, men det ser ikke ut til at beundringen er gjensidig, så hun kan føle seg litt oversett.
