In a very rare outing, CFV3V's non-operable Pacific steamer 1.002 stands at Antwerpen Centraal as part of an exhibition train that visits Antwerpen Centraal on 10 and 11 October, this photo beingmade on the 10th. A diverse collection of old and new stock gives a nice impression of 100 years of Belgian railways and was on show at Liége-Guillemins (August) and Schaerbeek (September), albeit without the 1.002. The coaches behind the loco are former Royal Coaches from 1935 thathave been restored and give an impression of a Royal Train. 
