- The 19. century vintage train of the Norwegian Railway Museum
Welcome to a ride with the unique vintage train, pulled by locomotive no. 17 «Caroline».
The engine was built by R. Stephenson & Co. of Newcastle in 1861.
The carriages no. 448, 311 and 358 are built by Skabo of Norway in 1884, 1883 and 1878.
No. 265 was built by Scandia in Denmark in 1878.
They represent the earliest stage of development on Norwegian railways, when technology was imported from Britain to open up this vast, mountainous and sparsely populated country.
The train was restored in the period of 1989 to 1996. The locomotive is permitted to run at 50 km/h.
Our journey today is between Hamar and Elverum and return., a total distance of about 60 km.
The Norwegian Railway Museum is a public museum operating in accordance with ICOM statutes.
Since 1896, it has been the museum’s responsibility to document Norway’s railway history and its role in the Norwegian society over the years. The museum was established by former railway workers as a private museum. The museum is located in Hamar - a town rich in railway history and essential in the development of the country’s national railway. The museum is one of the oldest railway museums in the world.
The initial modest collection of artefacts included photographs, illustrations and technical drawings. From 1896 to 1912, the collection was housed on the second floor of the Hamar Railway Station. The museum was, however, not open to the public from 1912 to 1930, and everything placed in storage. In 1930 the museum was rebuilt along the lines of a typical Scandinavian open-air-museum in the eastern part of Hamar, with some older station buildings, a pair of sheds and a short section of track with signal masts. However, the site was located far from an operational railway line, and moving heavy exhibits there proved expensive and difficult.
The museum’s collection steadily expanded and toward the end of the 1940s the authorities had to start searching for a new location. The museum was moved to its current, beautiful location in the museum park at Martodden by Mjøsa, and the opening coincided with the museum’s 60th anniversary in 1956. The museum comprised a new main building with and exhibiltion hall and an open-air park containing tracks, signals and authentically furnished station buildings. From 1962 the museum has been offering visitors a short journey with a narrow gauge steam train.
Towards the end of the 1980s, the museum had once again outgrown its premises and was on the lookout for a new location or additional space. As a result, the Norwegian State Railways (NSB) purchased more land to the north of the current museum park. On some of this land, a new building comprising exhibitions, offices, library and workshops opened in 2003.

I have fallen head over heels in love with this exquisite little loco and her beautiful coaches. Mid Victorian British elegance at its best. May she continue to steam and delight us all for ever!

Do they run this engine very often?
Normally it was twice a year. After the virus appeared it has not been run. The locomotive will probably be under steam during the jubilee days 4 and 5 of September this year.
