Light and shadow at Boekelo with MBS-6 arriving with a steam shuttle from Haaksbergen on 23 October 2016.

On 21 October 2012, ex-NS (and former BR War department) 8811 returned to active service with the Rotterdam based preservation society SSN and the loco is seen here with cab rides at Rotterdam SSN.

How to clear a big rail show? Try a decent down pour, like here on 2 October 1999 during a railway show at Hengelo with MBS-6 HELGA hauling a steam shuttle. Uptill this moment, the weather was glorious and the area full of people. A less-than-two-minuts rain shower was sufficient to sweep the area clean of all people -excluding your photographer...

VSM's 23 076 enters Oss with a steam shuttle to Nijmegen from 's-Hertogenbosch on 28 September 2024. Hobbyist organisation Het Stoomgenootschap tries to organise each year a day of steam shuttles between their home town 's-Hertogenbosch and another city. For 2024 Nijmegen was chosen and four steam shuttles were planned for Saturday 28 September 2024. Sadly, due to several circumstances, one had to be cancelled due to suffering del;ays between 60 minutes an two hours! The first steam shuttle from 's-Hertogenbosch was planned to run thourgh Oss toward Nijmegen, but was literally sidelined instead, adding to the delay, but giving photographers at Oss some more opportunities to take pictures. Here, VSM's 50 307 stands at Oss with the first steam shuttle of the day to get sidelined in order to let the massively delayed normal trains continue their journeys. For VSM's 50 307 it was the first performance on the main line since her extensive rebuild back to 50 307 from ReKo condition (as 50 3564). 
