The exhibit
The show room underwent an extesive audit of the showcase materiel in the year 2016. The show room lies in connection to the railway's café. There, you can enjoy the history of swedish 600 mm guage railways and find out the history behind the 7 official passenger railways with the same gauge that we represent. You will also find the history of our society ÖSlJ dating back to 1959, when we started on a railway in connection to Lina factory just outside of Södertälje, through our move to Mariefred in 1965 and on to our present day activities. The show room is very illustrative and well worth a visit.
One of many details that give our café its 19th century charm.
