Thanks Ray and Bigdaddy. We could combine the trip wit a visit to relatives. My wife dropped me off and went shopping with her sister, so I had a few hours to visit the VSM. Yes, I had a good time. It is not too often you can see a large number of steam engines working and pulling trains. The weather could be better. It was a cloudy, so the pictures are a little bit on the dark side. |

VSM (Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij) also runs its trains on regular routes (apart from its service on the museum-line Dieren-Apeldoorn). Here some pics from the 'Heatherweek" of Ede end of August where the VSM ran one day an hourly service between IC-station of Ede-Wageningen and Barneveld-Noord. This line is called the 'Chicken-line' because Barneveld is the chicken capital of The Netherlands (like we have the Heather-queen and -princess, they have the 'Egg-queen')  The Chicken-line is over 100 years old and is also used as an escape-route if the main line from Arnhem/Ede to Utrecht/Amsterdam is blocked somewhere. Then even the ICE Frankfurt-Amsterdam uses this single track line.  Because they could not reverse the engine at the terminals, the train is alternatively driven by the steamloc in front. Hope you enjoy my pics too. Regards, Henk  at full speed between Lunteren and Barneveld  Pulling away from station Ede Centrum |

Thanks for wonderful pictures, Piet and Henk. The guy in the 3rd pic is a bit off epoche - it really looks like he is holding a mobile phone to his ear. . The "Chicken line" train really looks spectacular pulling the rear loco. [:0] . I am wondering about the rear loco (being pulled): would it not cause de-railment of the small coaches if it was all dead weight? Don't you think it must be pushing to some extent? (too hard could also cause de-railment - maybe? Or not - that's the question ). |

(too hard could also cause de-railment - maybe? Or not - that's the question ). Well as far as I could see and hear the rear loco is only idling when being pulled. We probably all know from our layout the problem of light coaches in the front of a heavy train when the loco is pulling to hard, but in real life this seems less of a problem. Or does anybody have other evidence? And in this case they are not going so very fast either with this train. |

It think the guy is just scratching his ear, too much smoke and soot in his ears. On this kind of trips they use often two locomotives. So they can show off a little bit more. Another reason that on the way back you don't have you run your engines with the tender in the front, which limits the speed (no turntables available anymore). Maybe on this line they can't bring the engine to the other side of the train. And it is better looking too. |

Hi Piet, Thanks for the interesting photos. Particularly of the 23 class, which always seems to pop up as a desirable prototype for a new Märklin model. Here is another museum shot, I believe it is also in the Netherlands.  regards Kimball |

Hi Kimball, That is the orange BR44, at the Beekbergen depot. I think it is just used for spare parts. I've been told (don't know if it is true) it was painted orange by the Germans before it was sent to the VSM to support the Dutch national soccer team. René |

Hi Kimball and René Made a picture of the orange 44 at Beekbergen when I was there. She is parked behind the turn table with a lot of other steamers  This weekend (11 and 12 October 2008) the steamtraindays (visiting days) of the SSN (Rotterdam).
