This substantial museum, using a station built originally for the
private Hanko-Hyvinkää railway, deals with Finnish railways from the
very early days (the oldest locomotive here is from 1868) to the
present.
Particularly worth seeing are the last surviving Imperial Russian
train and a Tr2, essentially a Russian Ye class, built by ALCO.
There are twenty-five locomotives altogether, mostly steam, of
British, American, German, Swiss and Finnish manufacture. There's a
selection of carriages, too, with raised platforms so that one can
walk alongside them and look in.
There's a bit of track outside and very occasional live steam.
But really, if you already do railway museums, you'll know that the
important thing is the smell. This one smells right, of steam, oil,
and brass-polish.
