Resurrection in Glory: after three decades, the Dutch have an active ex-DB Class 41 steam loco.

Resurrection in Glory: after three decades, the Dutch have an active ex-DB Class 41 steam loco. The 41 241 was in the posession of Dampflok-Tradition Oberhausen. Due to lack of room, the Oberhauseners decided to store 41 241 at the SSN in Rotterdam Noord Goederen. The SSN however, has no line of her own and a constant feature of her history is the Sword of Damocles in the guise of expansion plans for domestic environments, forcing the SSN to relocate a few times lock, stock and barrel. In 2015 VSM bought 41 241 from the Germans and started to restore her directly in operational condition. With succes: shortly before the September festival Terug naar Toen the loco had concluded test rides. On 3 September 2023 the new star hauls a photo freight into Loenen.
