Ex-DB 23 076 stands at Loenen on 5 September 2026 during the yearly held train bonanza "Terug naar Toen" (Back to Yonder)-this photo was shot from 'my' steam train from Beekbergen. Three examples of Class 023 have been saved in the Netherlands and are in fully operational condition. Thanks to their maximum speed of 110 km/h they can be used on main line running specials, albeit being rostered in as quasi freights, since passenger trains are much faster, where freights mostly run with speeds up to 120 km/h.

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.

VSM 2412 stands in front of the brand new loco shed at Loenen on 5 September 2025 during the Terug-naar-Toen train bonanza. The loco shed was completed just a month before the TnT opened. The ex-NS 2412 and het Plan D coach show the brief spell of turquise hauled passenger Diesel trains with NS from 1951-1954. In 1954 Diesel locos of the series 2200 and 2400 were repainted brown and hauled stock turned into Prussian blue -reputedly because dirt was less visible on darker colours.
