Locomotive number 3 was built in 1910 by the Tampella Locomotive Works in Tampere, Finland, with construction number 157. The manufacturers license plates were accidentally swapped with another locomotive that was already available from the builder, and the locomotive always had the wrong manufacturer number 158. The locomotive was originally on display at the Karkkila bus station, but was handed over to the Jokioinen Museum Railway in 1993 and restored there. In 2006 it returned to Karkkila and is on display in the town hall there. 60.532401° 24.202961°

According to information given to me there were two steam locomotives builders in Tampere 1. Lokomo Oy, Tampere and 2. Tampereen Pellava- ja Rautateollisuus Oy In your Finnish information across a large number of listings you seem to have conflated them into one generic builders.
