Museum Stoomdepot: locomotive and workshop

Museum Stoomdepot of Stoom Stichting Nederland presents locomotives and carriages in a shed on the Rolf Hartkoornweg. The workshop setting makes maintenance and preservation part of the subject.

Plan your visit ↗

Viewing large rolling stock

With a locomotive, take in its proportions first. The explanations can then help you recognise components and their functions, without needing any technical knowledge beforehand.

Work in progress

The depot is also a working environment. Which work can be seen varies from day to day; follow the marked routes and do not regard maintenance as a demonstration guaranteed in advance.

On a smaller scale

The model railway on the upper floor offers a different perspective on rail transport. Ask about access and availability if this part matters to your group.

Before you go

Wednesday and Saturday have different closing times. According to the information, guided tours need a week’s preparation; check public holidays and the accessibility of the workshop and the upper floor.
