I love how you explain everything. It saves me asking too many questions. :) The drone is also a very good addition and the music adds to the experience instead of distracting me from it. Of course the Norwegian countryside is lovely as always. I am definitely a fan. Waiting for the next addition. Thank you!
Thx again Larissa for you kind comment. Just ask away if i forget to mention stuff or you wondering about other things :D Part 2 is in editing now, and prob be finished for release saturday.
Jag har sett Många "tågfilmer" från olika delar av världen, men Dina är utan tvekan dom Allra Bästa! Tack för dom, fortsätt filma, jag vill se mycket mer! :)
Fascinating the operation and all you do to turn around. Your explanation is superb. Your drone shots are very nice, well done. Thank you very, very much. 👍👍👍. 8-31-21
Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. Thank you for an interesting video. The explanation of the signs, and your tour guide style are very welcome. I am a rail fan, but I don’t know all the technical stuff.
Hi Kelly, and thx for commenting! Glad you liked it. I have not seen many video's that explain our signs and rules so i thought that might be interesting. I like Canada alot and hope to visit one day. I had a plane diverted to Montreal once, but that's it :P I also liked your channel! I love cruise and i got a friend who is into quilting. So I had her make me quite a few custom quilting projects, like food processor cover and such :D
Gotta love that EMD 645 diesel engine! It is really a popular engine as it powers a lot of locomotives here in the U.S. I assume that the generator and traction motors are made by Philips. Thanks for the very informative video! Can't wait until the next installment!
Thx again for commenting Swarf! I know little about the engine. But it's never broken down to my knowledge. The cooling system we had some trouble with tho. Cooling fan burned up (they are also hydraulic powered) and a hose for cooling liquid burst a couple of times.
Since Norway is almost entirely powered by Hydroelectric dams, I assume none of these timber materials are destined from Biomass power generation in Norway. How much of the materials are being used in Norway? Are they being used for construction or pulp/paper domestically? For the materials being exported to Sweden, are most of them destined for biomass fuel or other things like pulp/paper mills or building materials and insulation?
Hi Sorbe. I think we have only one paper factory left in Norway now. In Halden. We don't transport there tho. We transport all our timber to Skoghall and Grums in Sweden. Both for cardbord/paper. We also transport woodchips to Stockholm for central heating during the winter months. There are also other companies that transport timber in Norway. What they use it for i don't know.

Another excellent video with wonderful drone footage at the start. I was wondering if that Cargo Net train of empty log wagons that came into Kongsvinger while you were doing the drone work were the cars that would make up your train north?
Hi Don and thx for asking. On Solørbanen we haul 26 wagons, cause its fairly flat. But on other lines we haul less. Like to Lillehammer where its a long hill at 16 per mille we can have a maximum of 14 wagons.
I live in Heradsbygd beside the Solørbanen, and It's always a pleasure to listen to the old 2 stroke engines in the TMZ and TMY locomotives :) How many TMZ locos do Hector rail use these day's? The Vossloh's was out of use for several years, and then there was primarly the old danish TMZ locos that roared past :)
Hi Mod, and thx for commenting! We had several TMZ in Kongsvinger. But they are all down for repair now :( 2 did derail, one burnt up... I will post a vid as soon as we get one back :D

Excellent video and so informative. Tusen Takk. Do I interpret the information correctly on the locomotive you are driving in that it is a Diesel Hydraulic? Sadly these were phased out many years ago in England (much to my personal regret!) How does it compare to the other types you drive?
Hi Andy and thx for your comment again. Yes it's Diesel hydraulic (i forgot to inform about that, sry). The cabin is fantastic. And it got big side windows! It's not so fantastic if the rails are slippery. If one wheel/axel spin they all spin. Thats the biggest downside. The compressor is not so good either. If you apply breaks more then two times you kinda get stuck for a couple of min. And the retarder is removed cause it had so much problems.
This is so much fun! I hope you will explain why the single light before Kirkenær was not on. I've seen that on Nordlandsbanen and would like to know what controls entry to the station when there are no lights. Thank you!
Hi, mr and thx for commenting. Yes i will explain that when we come to Flisa and Braskereidfoss. Its just that Kirkenær station is never manned anymore.
Hi and thx for commenting. In my 2 part video "The other way from Hønefoss" We drive on 2 freigh train only" lines. Roa-Hønefoss line and Alna line. The region train "Bergensbanen" drive there when the other way is closed a few weeks pr year tho.

Heey Harald, it's produced by Vossloh (Germany) And its a G2000BB

Yup ;) At least you get some freight train here. And thx for supporting a noob like me :D

What is maximum # of lumber cars this locomotive haul?

is track and signal maintenace done by 1 national agency/company?
I think so. Foreign companies is pouring in after we opened up for competition. So maybe maintenance is in change also.
