A light mixed-traffic locomotive affectionately known as "Pikkurusko" (Little Brownie) belonged to a G1 class which was manufactured in the 1880s. They were built by SLM in Winterthur, Switzerland to a Finnish design. Altogether 229 locomotives of this type and its variations were assembled. G1 No. 124 was delivered in 1885 and can nowadays be found in the exhibition of the Finnish Railway Museum.

A verification of visit question for visitors who choose to visit without providing proof photos: there is a builder's plaque on the side of the cab, containing the builder's number (which is different than the locomotive number #124). Please email me that number using the link in my profile and do not post any photos in the gallery which show the builder's plaque.
