Torgrim has always been interested in trains, initially for the natural first choice Märklin, later and continuously for miniature trains in 1: 8 scale. He has his own miniature train line at the cabin that measures a full 116m in length, built from the ground up by himself. In the summer months since 2016, he has worked as a train driver on the Thamshavn line, a museum line in operation between Orkanger and Løkken in Trøndelag. Torgrim has also had time to go as a pilot with more than 350 flight hours in the log behind the levers in single-engine aircraft, including towing sailplanes in Oppdal and Værnes.
