This picture is not taken in Scandinavia as this loco is in fact now on display at Ongar, Essex in the U.K. Yes this is a Finnish steamer...a class TK3 we think Number 1134. Standing on a specially construced Finnish gauge section of track at the Epping Ongar Railway's Ongar Station it certainly makes a very unusual sight. This loco is unlikely to return to steam operation but merely photographic opportunities will make it and other Finnish steam locos a welcomed attraction. Pictured on May 16th 2004.
