Model railroad
The "whole
family" is active in the model railroad project. Uncle Jan is perhaps the most
interested. The project uses
parts from Lima, Roco and Fleischmann. It will be a round track, with the control center
in the middle. The line has 5 Norwegian stations, - Vikersund, Drammen, Oslo S, Alnabru
and Hønefoss. We now have 9 locomotives and one IC-set, almost all in Norwegian design. 7
locomotives are digital controlled, with 2 separate controllers. (All of the trains
can be ran from one controller.) There are about 70 carriages. There are about 60 meters
of tracks.
Model cars This
is daddy and Thor Hennings hobby. The majority of our models are in the scale 1/25
or 1/24, but we build a few in scale 1/32 for model racing. The models are all american
cars. (For some reason). Click the images to
get better views. We have 50 models that are finished in
1/25 scale. We also have 7-8 trucks or "big rigs".

The
Raceway is probably one of a kind in Norway, - with all american cars. The track is built
with pieces from Airfix, Revell, Scalextric and Polistil. The cars are built from 1/32
scale model kits. Mostly classic muscle- and ponycars, such as '69 Charger, '66 Nova, '75
Corvette, '69 Camaro Z28 and a Pontiac TransAm funny-car. Front axles have steerable
wheels and we use the wheels from the model kits. Track
layout.

PC/IT
This is the
control-centre for the hobby activities. As You can see, there are a lot of
"things" here. The picture is taken at Thor Hennings birthday, and his friends
were busy to try out his computer games. This is also the office for our business. All the
computers are connected in a network. This is also the place where the home pages are
created.
Hunting
and fishing

We are lucky to
have areas for hunting just outside our door, but these days I go hunting with the camera.
These rabbits ended on the dinner table some years ago.
We like to go
for a fishing trip, and Thor Henning became fisherman of the Year in '97. Uncle Leif
became the fisherman in '98 with a pike that weighed 6,5 kg taken in the Tyrifjord Lake.
Last summer we all was equal. This summer Thor Henning is
in the lead again with his pike.

The
Trouts on the picture weighed 1,2 og 1,4 kg, and was caught by fly-fishing in Vikerfossen
(Tyrifjord Lake) a few years ago.
