Help us build a new home for Fiskars’ Pikku-Pässi – Finland’s oldest surviving narrow-gauge steam locomotive!

Why do we need your help? Pikku-Pässi has undergone extensive restoration and is now ready to return to Fiskars Village. To protect and showcase this unique locomotive, we are constructing a special locomotive depot next to the former knife factory.

The Locomotive Depot – A Tribute to Our History The locomotive depot will be constructed of solid bricks to blend seamlessly with the historical ironworks environment. Large windows will allow visitors to admire Pikku-Pässi around the clock. This is not just a shelter for the locomotive but also a new learning environment and an important part of the museum’s public activities.

Your Donation Makes a Difference You can participate in our fundraising campaign from August 1st to October 31st with any amount you wish. The goal of the campaign is to raise €10,000. Every donation, big or small, is invaluable to us. Did you know that with a hundred euros, you can donate a pallet of bricks to the locomotive shed? Together, we can achieve our goal and preserve an important part of our shared history. The fundraising permit number is RA/2024/1090. All funds raised will be used in full for the construction costs of the locomotive shed.
