Tinliner

751-VL1096 is the number of the train which Tingle and his friends use in Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love. The train first appears on Page 5, when Tingle must find several missing parts to make it run. After the missing parts have been returned, and placed in the correct order, the locomotive transforms into a more modern-looking train. Tingle and his friends then ride the train until it runs out of oil at Page 6, where it remains until the end of Page 8, when they depart, continuing in the direction of Emerald City.

On Page 9, Segare places a ramp on the tracks, which causes the train to jump the rails, and end up in an abandoned mining facility. After completing a series of puzzles involving train tracks and switches, they are able to get back on the correct track, and continue to Page 10. When they arrive, they have some trouble getting past the border guards, and the party is forced to obtain work licenses. Once they do so, they are allowed to depart the port.

After Tingle arrives on Page 11, where a train theme park is located, they abandon the train, leaving it parked on the rails. It is unknown as to what ever became of the train, but a nearby woman seems to have some sort of interest in it.
