Rolling stock

The first locomotive acquired by the society was a G12 unit number 7707 from the Swedish Statens Järnvägar. It was built in 1953 in London, Canada and sold to SJ and numbered T42-205 as the sole G12 used by the company. After it was retired in 1986 it was bought by GM-Gruppen.
In 1989 GM-Gruppen agreed to buy two Danish MX/MY units from Danske Statsbaner, numbered MY-1104 and MX-1040. They were built by NOHAB in 1954 and 1962, respectively.
The organisation also has two Norwegian locomotives, both Di 3 units from Norwegian State Railways, numbered 3.602 and 3.616. The first is a prototype locomotive while the second is a normal serial production locomotive. Both engines are owned by the Norwegian Railway Museum at Hamar, and since 1998 GM-Gruppen has had a ten-year maintenance and operation agreement with NJM for the two trains.
The association also has a number of passenger cars.
