Kouvola's Model Railway Museum, Kymenlaakso, Finland

4.5 (40 reviews) Sunday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Ranking #3 in Kouvola Speciality Museums

Thumbs up!

The largest model railroad exhibition in Finland with engines using real whistling sounds. The museum also features a wooden steam train, one of the three existing trains with Masson engine, running through 3 rooms on rails over 2.5 meters high! Visitors have an opportunity to act as engineers for the model trains, and see the development of railroad history. The cafe Onkapannu has always fresh ground coffee and delicious pastries. Museum is loca- ted right next to the railway station. “I will always try to put trains that I believe are of interest to each visitor.” Trains run exactly the same way as VR, see how the train's safety Block system works, but on a smaller scale. The performance takes 45 minutes.

    Interesting model railroads and a nice cafe in the city centre
    Kouvola Model Railroad Museum is situated in the city center, only 100 meters from the railway station, in an old wooden school building (built in 1897). However, it may be a bit difficult to find it, because the entrance is from the inner ward of a block. This is a wonderful place to see interesting model railways. Children may hold the steering-wheel of trains or even run her or his own engine on the track. There is also a cafe named Onkapannu in the same building. You get coffee, tea, homemade pastries, sandwiches and salty pastries there.
