Transit Oost: transport in the workshop

Transit Oost in Winterswijk brings together public transport heritage from the Achterhoek region. Buses, a T-Ford and the diesel railcar Blauwe Engel are mentioned alongside a large model railway.

A vehicle under maintenance

The workshop focuses on restoration, with guidance. Ask which work is explained during your visit; a vehicle being restored is not always fully accessible.

Winterswijk to scale

The model railway depicts the station and its surroundings in an earlier period. See how track, buildings and movement together form a setting, and let the explanation clarify the historical layer.

Different forms of transport

The combination of bus, car and train makes comparison possible. Pay attention to passenger space, controls and construction, depending on the vehicles visible in the current presentation.

Before you go

The seasonal schedule includes extra Wednesday afternoons in summer. Museum accessibility does not automatically mean that every vehicle can also be entered.
