Hi Guys --
Was looking through the web site of my local hobby shop this morning, and spotted this interesting little gasoline powered engine:

Apparently a pair of these German-built oddities were used for switching in Norway too.
Here is a link to a page that presents the use of such locomotives on the Finnish railroads: http://www.elisanet.fi/~g621741/WWV/kiskok/kisko.htm
Too bad they are totally out of character for my modeling subject - they look pretty cool, in a butt ugly way :-)
Grin,
Stein
