In 1998,ex-GDR type V22 shunting Diesel SHM-35 was bought by the Stoomtram Hoorn-Medemblik and earned her nickname "Griezel" (Creepy) reputedly due to the GDR's origin of the loco, but also because the unreability of the shunter's engine sometimes could be an absolute horror for the shunting crews. In 2006 the drastic solution was followed by replacing the originalengine with a Deutz engine and since that,the loco performs very well. On 6 July 2026 SHM-35 was shuntingat Hoorn after a nice weekend of steam specials.

Tram loco SHM-8 Ooievaar, built in 1908 by Backer&Rueb at Breda (NL) banks a steam special into Hoorn SHM on a grey 4 July 2026. The wagon behind/just before the loco used to be a freight wagon adapted for passenger traffic as an emergency just after WW-2, when genuine passenger coaches were in very short supply and one had to make ado.
