VR Class Pr1 (original classification N1, nickname Paikku, from Finnish “paikallinen”, local) was a tank steam locomotive for local passenger services of Finnish railways.
The classes share many parts, including as frames, boilers and spaces for coal, but wheel arrangement, domes and top speed are very different because of their completely different roles.
The locomotive was of tank design with small coal bunker in the rear, which limited operational range.
Generally Pr1's were run with their front boiler end pointing at Helsinki central railway station.
The locomotives were relegated to secondary freight duties, such gravel trains, and some were moved to depots other than from Pasila.
