The VR Class Vk11 No 101 locomotive was purchased for testing on a six mile stretch of track between Vuokatti and Sotkamo where the use of steam locomotives had proved to be uneconomical due to low traffic. The locomotive was ordered from the Swedish act called Ab Slipmaterial of Sweden and it was completed in 1930. The locomotive had a six litre Wisconsin Motor Co Milwaukee petrol-paraffin internal-combustion engine.
