Industrieel Smalspoor Museum: engineering on the move through the peat

The Industrieel Smalspoor Museum near Erica combines a collection of rolling stock with a round trip. The organisation also describes a workshop visit as part of what it offers.

Locomotives with a job to do

The collection lists various makers of small industrial locomotives. Ask how the presentation links the vehicles to their work, rather than just comparing the makes.

Experiencing the railway

A ride through the peat landscape gives a different view from the museum hall. Take the explanation about transport outside with you and note the relationship between track, rolling stock and surroundings.

Behind the maintenance

A workshop visit can show how much care the rolling stock requires. Find out which parts are included on your day and which activities require supervision.

Before you go

Check the current season and ride schedule. Groups have a separate contact route; additional family days follow the calendar.
