Norway's national railways museum, Norsk Jernbanemuseum, is in the city of Hamar. The place is somewhat different from other similar museums in that it is an area which extends to an area of almost a kilometer long. There is an operational old narrow gauge train that takes museum visitors from one end to another and there are several old station houses moved into the area from all over Norway. Our first picture shows the logo of the museum.

The locomotive of Tertittoget has been built by Hartmann in Chemnitz, Germany in 1895. It has been used at the museum since already 1962. The small locomotive together with its second and third class coaches are from the Urskog-Høland line. The small locomotive is fired with wood pellets.

Fuel for Tertittoget. For those of you who have had a hamster, guinea pig or a rabbit as kids, you surely know the stuff. But not necessarily as locomotive fuel :-)

Well over 120 years old and during summers in almost daily use since 1962, the machine of Tertittoget is in surprisingly good condition.

The "Dovregubben", old chap of Dovre, is the biggest ever Norwegian steam locomotive, designed for the very steep mountainous Dovrebane rail line. It weighs over 153 tons. Five of these giants were built since 1935 by the Thune mekaniske vaerksted in Oslo and when the Germans occupied Norway, the nazis built two more in Germany by Krupp in 1940. This one is one of the German built Krupp machines. The machines were withdrawn 1957-58.

This is a car built by Armstrong & Whitworth in UK; their car no. 385. The car was imported into Norway by the Automobil Compagniet A/S and sold to chamber lord Cappelen from Ulefoss. After a while Cappelen bought a newer car and this one was returned to the car sales company, which this time sold it in 1924 to NSB. NSB modified it to become a railcar for track inspection purposes.
