The museum houses over 100 historic units of rolling stock.
The collection features the rare 'Ryś' steam locomotive, one of the oldest in the museum.
The site contains equipment from multiple defunct Polish narrow-gauge lines, including the Pomeranian and Upper Silesian railways.
The railway track gauge used here is 750mm, which was standard for rural transport networks in Poland.
It is the only museum in Europe that regularly maintains and operates such an extensive fleet of narrow-gauge steam locomotives.
The site includes a preserved wooden passenger carriage from the early 1900s, rarely found elsewhere.
The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in Sochaczew is the largest collection of narrow-gauge rolling stock in Europe. It serves as the primary base for the Piaseczyńska Narrow-Gauge Railway, which operates vintage trains from the site. The museum features an extensive collection of steam locomotives, diesel engines, and passenger carriages dating back to the early 20th century. Visitors can walk through an open-air exhibition space that chronicles the history of the Polish 750mm gauge rail network. The site functions as both a static museum and an active depot for heritage railway excursions. Significant rolling stock includes restored historic locomotives and various specialized maintenance vehicles. The facility is managed by the Railway Museum in Warsaw and preserves equipment rescued from liquidated regional narrow-gauge lines. It is situated on the premises of the former Sochaczew-Piaseczno narrow-gauge railway junction.
