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.

Ratherbleached DBC 185 012 hauls a steel train through Neuwied on 30 April 2026. The use of environment friendly paints sadly has lead to the fastbleaching of DB locos because the paints are less capable to withstand bad weather conditions.

InfraBel owns 5512 since 2025 and puts the loco to good use by hauling museum stock from Train World Schaerbeek and other railway heritage operators when the occasion arises -like bringingan exhibition train for the centenary of the NMBS. Here 5512 stands with one luggage coach at Antwerpen Centraal on 10 October 2026. The 'TVM' by the way was an abbreviation by NMBS/SNCB to note that these locos were assigned to salvage duties and ther have been instances when a 320 km/h capable TGV or Thalys couldn't go further and had to be rescued by one of the TVM Class 55s, capable of maximal 120 km/h.

In a veryrare 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.

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.

Ex-NS, now VSM 2233 banks one of the each 45 minutes operating shuttle trains between Beekbergen and Loenen out of Loenen during the annual Terug-naar-Toen train bonanza. Diesel passenger trains in the netherlands have almostalways been operated by DMUs; Diesel loco haulage being very rare; onlyin the proximity of Winterswijk and Zevenaar a few peak hour trains were loco hauled. The passenger stock on this train is the hauled versionof Mat'24 Blokkendoos and VSM each year does a very fine job inrecreating the few Diesel loco hauled trains fromthe past -in combination with German Einheitsdampfloks or GDR ReKos.
