Here is a link to Wikipedia site of Finnish Railway Museum. It is in Finnish, but copy the address to Google Translator and translate to English: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomen_RautatiemuseoHere you can see that the Garden train is actually 1:8 scale and not 1:10. This can vary depending of the locomotive in use. Janne |

Hi again  , In Finland steam locomotive models type codings first big letters have this meaning: H = Henkilöveturi (Passenger locomotive) T = Tavaraveturi (Freight locomotive) S = Sekalaiseen ajoon tarkoitettu veturi (Mixed service locomotive) P = Paikallisveturi (Local traffic locomotive) V = Vaihtoveturi (Switching locomotive) Second smaller letter has this meaning: r = Raskas (Heavyweight) k = Kevyt (Lightweight) There are maybe other meanings or letters, but I don´t know about them. I just thought that this will help better to understand the basic usage of these steam locomotive models. Regards, Janne |

Gary Hi Gary, It's my pleasure to show some Finnish railway stuff here as Märklin doesn't do any 1:87 models of them. I think this is mostly because of the different wider track width and very small markets anyway. They have done many Swedish SJ, Norwegian NSB and Danish DSB models. Also some Russian models. Two Russian steam locomotive models if I remember right. So I have not any Finnish models and will not ever have if Märklin will not do them in the future. Roco has one Finnish new era electric locomotive model, but it is too new for me. Here in Finland many model railroaders build their own locomotives and rolling stock. These are mostly 2-rail DC. This (and rivet counting  ) is not my thing, so I buy Märklin and enjoy their looks and pulling power  . Regards, Janne |

Hi Åke, Thank you very much for sharing these good photos. That Crocodile photo showing the size difference between gauge 1, H0 and Z is my favourite  . I have to get one 1 gauge Crocodile as it looks so impressing  . I wish I would have been there back then. I started this wonderful hobby again in around year 2010, so unfortunately I was not visiting Finnish Railway Museum to see these all live. Regards, Janne |
