Suomen valtionrautatiet 2-4-0 Locomotives in Finland


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class D1 (Locobase 5614)

Data from Markku Karvonen's personal.inet.fi/koti/markku.karvonen/prk/vanha3.htm (visited 29 March 2003). and Eljas Polho- Pekka Honkanen, Hoyryveturit Valtionrautateilla (The Steam Locomotives of the Finnish State Railways), Suomen Rautatiehistoriallinen Seura Ry (Finnish Railway History Society) 1967-2017, p. 215. Publishing information supplied by Teemu Koivumaki in a 24 January 2022 email as part of an indispensable series of emails concerning Finnish locomotives. Works numbers were 294-295 in 1872.

Apparently similar in some respects (e.g., grate area) to the six-coupled pair delivered by Berliner in the same year, these were passenger engines with taller drivers and smaller boilers. On delivery they acquired the names Gisiko and Arnold.

Arnold was placed out of service in 1912, but the Gisiko
