Take a look at the captivating history of the (steam) trains in Western Europe and Belgium. An extensive exhibition of both locomotives and train wagons is completed with all sorts of paraphernalia related to trains and railways. Detailed explanations of the mechanical principles behind the different technologies add a significant value to the visit. The museum had a separate activity for children, where they needed to find specific items in the museum, encouraging them to look at all items on display. This museum can certainly compete with the TrainWorld Schaarbeek Museum in Brussels. An expansion of the museum to double its size is planned for the near future. Unfortunately, the restrictions regarding covid-19 prevented us from taking a trip with an actual steam train.
