On 14 December 2024, VSM 50 307 quits Arnhem Centraal in front of the six times daily Christmas-Express steam shuttle train between Arnhem Centraal and Nijmegen.

At the rear of the Christmas-express of 15 December 2024, VSM's 23 076 enters Nijmegen.

On 14 December 2024, VSM 50 307 stands in front of the six times daily Christmas-Express steam shuttle train at Arnhem Centraal. The weekend of 14/15 December 2024 VSM deployed six shuttle services with one train set, consisting of a dozen of coaches (from local two-axle wagons to luxurious dining cars) and a steam loco at each end. ON the evening of the 14th however, 50 307 took minor damages and the preservationist of the VSM decided to replace the grossOhr (Big Ear) with two Dutch 1950s Diesel locomotives.

From the platform with photographic zooming VSM 50 307 could just be caught banking the Christmas-express steam shuttle train out of Nijmegen back to Arnhem on 14 December 2024.

A nice surprise at Beekbergen during the VSM spectacle Terug-naar-Toen: Polish tank engine TKp23 stands -at least externally- restored in the depot at Beekbergen. For years within the ranks of VSM there was some talk about discarding this Polish machine. 
