VSM's newby 41 241 receives attention at the VSM works in Beekbergen on 3 September 2023 during the Terug naar Toen steam train festival.

Resurrection in Glory: after three decades, the Dutch have an active ex-DB Class 41 steam loco. The 41 241 was in the posession of Dampflok-Tradition Oberhausen. Due to lack of room, the Oberhauseners decided to store 41 241 at the SSN in Rotterdam Noord Goederen. The SSN however, has no line of her own and a constant feature of her history is the Sword of Damocles in the guise of expansion plans for domestic environments, forcing the SSN to relocate a few times lock, stock and barrel. In 2015 VSM bought 41 241 from the Germans and started to restore her directly in operational condition. With succes: shortly before the September festival Terug naar Toen the loco had concluded test rides. On 3 September 2023 the new star hauls a photo freight into Loenen.

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). 
