A brief history: At least two Marshall steam rollers have been imported to Finland. Both of them were built in 1926 (builders numbers 80864 and 80845). Both are of type "S" and equipped with a compound engine. One of them weights 12 tons and another 16 tons. The operating pressure of the rollers was 12 atm and power 25-30 ind.hp.

The rollers were imported by Ab Becos Oy, which placed a brass importers plate on them. Ab Becos Oy was a Helsinki based machine broking agency bought by English businessmen and factories in 1818.  It was aiming for markets of Eastern-Europe and Siberia.

Both rollers were owned by Helsinki town at the end of 1920's. From these times there are photographs showing the rollers in action admiring eyes of small kids at Eteläesplanadi and Hietalahti Square. The rollers had a brass plate with a text "HKR-HSB" and numbers "4" and "5".

In the middle of 1960's the town cased using the rollers and gave both of them to the Museum of Technology in Helsinki. After standing more than ten years in front of the museum the rollers were given to the Road Museum of the Road and Waterways Administration and moved to Turku. The smaller, 12 ton Marshall roller was restored cosmetically in 1988 and is now on display at the Auto mobile and Road Museum Mobilia in Kangasala.

In contrary the large 16 ton Marshall roller (HKR 4) was to be sold as scrap. No scrap dealer was interested in the steam roller that had also its crank shaft broken because of careless handling. Finally in 1989 the Road and Waterways Administration of Turku sold it to the current owner for 35 p / kg (5 euro cents / kg).

Restoration work of the roller started in autumn 1994. Because of help of Helsinki town, Fiskars Oy, Hitsaus-Kolmio Oy, Imatran Voima Oy and Jormaila Oy the roller was already cosmetically restored and on display at the Great Suolahti Steam Festival in July 1995. In December 1995 an old wooden Helsinki town construction workers van was bought.

A brief history: Some time in the past the steam engine has been replaced by an engine built by Turun rautateollisuus in 1921. The exact time of this installation is not known.

A brief history: This locomotive was the second Porter locomotive at the ÄSR. The first locomotive was also built by H.K. Porter. When assembled the locomotive got the road number #1, the number of the first but smaller locomotive. The first locomotive was renumbered #2.

At ÄSR the locomotive was called the Big Ram (Iso Pässi). It was used on the main line traffic until 1^st of May 1943 when the traffic on the private narrow gauge railway was discontinued and transferred to new State Railway broad gauge line. After this the locomotive was used in the internal traffic of Äänekoski Paper Mills. This ended in 1964 when the narrow gauge lines were closed. In years 1964-66 the locomotive was used to generate steam at the paper mills. In 1966 its windows were protected by plywood sheets and it was stored outside.

The locomotive was donated to Museum Railway Forssa-Humppila (later the Museum Railway Association) in 1971. Renovation of the locomotive started in 1972 by dismantling it and sand blasting a boiler and some smaller parts. At this moment the boiler was thought to be in such a bad shape that the renovation work was stopped. The renovation work was started again in spring 1989 because parts of the locomotive were around the museum railway and there was a danger that some parts would be lost or damaged.

Renovation work of the locomotive was going on always when there was spare time of the more important projects. The first firing up of the locomotive after 39 years was took place on Saturday the 11^th of June, 2005. Officially the locomotive was taken in service during the first Minkiö Steam Festival on Sunday the 31^st of July, 2005. On that day the locomotive pulled a special train for invited guests from Minkiö to Jokioinen and back.

A brief history: Loviisa-Vesijärvi railway locomotive number 6 was built at Tampere Linen and Iron Industry, later Tampella, work shops in Tampere, Finland in. The locomotive was built in 1906 and it is carrying a manufactures number 141, being the  141th locomotive built by Tampella.

Number 6 was running on revenue traffic for 51 years from 1909 until 19 April, 1960. The locomotive was donated to the museum of town of Loviisa and it was placed as a stationary monument in the centre of Loviisa. Museum Railway Association, who is running and maintaining the Jokioinen Museum railway, was able to negotiate a deal where the locomotive was donated to association. On 23 September, 1982 the locomotive was transported to Minkiö to be stored indoors. Later on the locomotive was painted for the narrow gauge museum exhibition. The town of Loviisa donated the locomotive to Museum railway Association in 1996 and the renovation of the locomotive started in autumn 1996. The renovation was mostly financed by the Ministry of Transportation.

The renovation was made at Jomeco Oy machine shop in Jokioinen. Final  steps of the work were completed in spring and summer 1998. The climax of the renovation project was reached on Saturday 15 August, 1988 when the rebuilt locomotive was loaded on a flat bed truck and transported 10 kms to Minkiö station. At Minkiö the locomotive was pulled on tracks and the next day she was moving under her own power for the first time in 40 years!

A brief history: Museum train traffic was started in 1971 on the track of Jokioinen railway in 1971 by trains hauled by Hyvinkää-Karkkila railway steam locomotive number 5. The locomotive was made at Tampere Linen and Iron Industry, later Tampella, work shops in Tampere, Finland in 1917.  Number 5 is the first locomotive being completed after the independence of Finland.

Number 5 served her working life on 45 km Hyvinkää-Karkkila railway in years 1918-1967.  After the railway was closed Kymin Oy became her new owner. In 1969 the locomotive was donated to Veturien Ystävät ry (Friends of Locomotives Association). The locomotive which was in relatively bad shape was transported to Forssa, and renovated to working order by a group of railway enthusiasts in 1969-1971. After that the ownership of  the locomotive was transferred to Museum railway Forssa-Humppila which was the predecessor of the present day Museum Railway Association.

Number 5 was used in volunteer operated traffic to haul museum trains on Jokioinen railway between Humppila and Forssa in 1971-1973. After  Jokioinen railway was closed part of the line was demolished and the museum traffic could continue only in 1978. In 1979 number 5 was transported to VR Hyvinkää locomotive shops where a two year long renovation was made to her. Later on number 5 has gone through several minor repairs.

A brief history: The youngest steam locomotive of Jokioinen Museum Railway is the number 4 built in Belgium in 1947 for Jokioinen railway. The locomotive was built by S.A. Les Ateliers Metallurgiques Nivelles Division de Tubize in Nivelles, Belgium

Jokioinen railway acquired the number 4 and its sister locomotive number 5, which was sold to Great Britain in 1972,  because the newest and most powerful locomotive made by Henschel had to be given to the Soviet Union as a penalty fee for late war reparation payments in 1945. The size and performance of Tubize locomotives are nearly similar to Henschel. The order for the locomotives was placed in 1946 and number 4 arrived in Finland at the end of 1947.

Tubize was used at Jokioinen railway to pull passenger trains until 1951 and heavy freight trains until 1960s. At that time Jokioinen railway bought three Move 21 diesel locomotives from Loviisa-Vesijärvi railway and one Move 21 diesel locomotive from Hyvinkää-Karkkila railway. After that Tubize number 4 and number 5 were used less frequently and in secondary jobs. They were acting as spear locomotives for diesels and in winter they were used to run the snow plougher trains.

Tubize number 4 being at that moment the only operable locomotive of the railway pulled the last revenue freight train of Jokioinen railway on March 31, 1974 from Humppila to Forssa.

In the beginning of 1978 Jokioinen Museum Railway bought Tubize number 4 together with the Minkiö-Jokioinen railway line and a big number of narrow gauge rolling stock. After that the locomotive has been pulling museum trains in summer time. Already when the museum train traffic started on June 25, 1978 the locomotive and especially its boiler was in bad shape, thus the locomotive was fully renovated at VR Kuopio locomotive works in 1985-1988.

A brief history: The newest steam locomotive of Jokioinen Museum Railway is an ex-Jokioinen railway steam locomotive number 5, built in 1948 in Belgium. Non traditionally for Finland the locomotive is carrying a name "Orion" from its previous owner, Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway in Wales. The locomotive was built in Nivelles, Belgium by Les Ateliers Metallurgiques Nivelles Division de Tubize.

JR 5 arrived in Finland in 1948, and it was used at JR until 1960s to haul heavy goods trains and until 1951 to haul passenger trains.  The locomotive was taken out of traffic in 1964 because of firebox damage and until 1972 it was stored at Jokioinen station in a small "shed" built around the locomotive.

The Tubize locomotive was bought by an English individual in 1972. He planned to renovate and run the locomotive stored in Wisbeck. The owner had to however give out his plans and the locomotive was later on bought by Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway in Wales. Over there the locomotive was renovated and taken in service in autumn 2000.

The locomotive ended being too large and heavy on the windy and hilly tracks of WLLR, and in Spring 2006 a preliminary agreement was made to purchase the locomotive back to Finland. The locomotive was shipped from Harwich to Turku in Finland and on a flat bed truck trailer further to Jokioinen. The locomotive was running under her own power on her home tracks for the first time in years on 15 October 2006.

The locomotive is used at Jokioinen Museum Railway but her new owner is Finnish individual. According to contract between Museum Railway Association the locomotive is used in traffic like any other steam locomotive at Jokioinen Museum Railway.
