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. 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.

The decoration on the kettle's dooor of VSM 44 1593 is a wink to the fact, that in the 100th year of ex-DRG Class 44 only one 44 in Western Europe is inoperational condition and that that one is outside Germany! VSM 44 1593 readies herself with one of the many steam shuttle trains to/from Loenen at Beekbergen on 5 September2026 during the Terug naar Toen steam train bonanza.

TKp23 'Slask' stands at Beekbergen on 5 September 2026 during the Terug-naar-Toen festivities. After several attempts by VSM to sell the loco, they decided to give her an at least cosmetical restoration.

After ten years of restauration, ZLSM, ex VSM 52 532 is active again sincs May 2026. Here she stands at Schin op Geul on 19 August 2026 before a fully loaded steam train to Simpelveld. This train arrived 20 minutes earlier from Simpelveld, so a quick run round of the old steamer was on order -and performed perfectly.
