VSM's newby 41 241 receives attention at the VSM works in Beekbergen on 3 September 2023 during the Terug naar Toen steam train festival.

On 23 August 2023 RFO 1837 passes through Hulten with a tank train toward Bad Bentheim.

VSM newby 41 241 runs round at Dieren on 3 September to haul one coach back to Beekbergen. THis engine was in the posession of Dampflok-Tradition Oberhausen. Due to lack of room, the Oberhauseners decided to store 41 241 at the SSN in Rotterdam Noord Goederen. The SSN however, has no line of her own and a constant feature of her history is the Sword of Damocles in the guise of expansion plans for domestic environments, forcing the SSN to relocate a few times lock, stock and barrel. In 2015 VSM bought 41 241 from the Germans and started to restore her directly in operational condition. With succes: shortly before the September festival Terug naar Toen the loco had concluded test rides.

Not only the Kerst-Express steam special to Essen Hbf could be admired at Arnhem on a grey 17 December 2022, but also a steam shuttle that acted between Arnhem and Ede-Wageningen. Here, SSN's 23 023 hauls this steam shuttle 'Christmas Express' into Ede-Wageningen. 

With half an hour delay 011 075 hauls the first steam shuttle train for the Terug-naar-Toen steam bonanza into Dieren station. Here, the fastest steam locomotive in the Netherlands will run round and return with the -fully loaded- train to Beekbergen, head quarters of the VSM. 
