Travels 2022 – Part II

A trip to the 50 year celebrations of the ASVi museum in Belgium resulted in visites to various systems en-route at the end of September and early October: Wuppertal Schwebebahn (DE) -includes a few trolleybuses from Solingen near their Wuppertal-Vohwinkel terminus where they meet the Monorail Hotton and Lierneux (BE) – two ex Antwerp trailers Read More

from the archive: 125 years of the Belgian Coastal Tramway

In 2010 the Belgian Vicinal (by now called De Lijn in this part of the country) celebrated the 125th birthday of trams with many visiting tramcars. We went to see the big parade on June 25th. This is another post from our old tramwaymuseum.net website. Read More

Museum Trams in Hainaut and the Ardennes

Whilst preparing the “from the archive” posts from our old website trammuseum.net we noticed that we had only shown a small selection of photos there dealing with the museum trams of ASVi and TTA (and the commercial Grottes de Han operation). We have put them all together here including much additional material, old and new Read More

from the Archive: Schepdaal Tram Museum over the years

For many years we ran the trammuseum.net website. For a long time it was the unofficial homepage of the museum (because there was nothing else available). When the museum was leased out by De Lijn (they already have a much larger tram/transport museum in Antwerp) the new operators objected to us running this page with Read More

Hamburg (DE) In July we visited Lodz again and then also Read More

Travels 2021 – Part I

Covid is still with us so there have been almost no trips this year. The closure (for regauging) of the scenic interurban between Liberec and Jablonec (CZ) in July allowed a long weekend and also was the testing ground for my new camera (the old one broke down early last year but I still managed Read More

NMVB (SNCV) Blind/Rollsign from Antwerpen

During a recent visit to the Antwerp tram museum (which is still closed to the public but the door was open and they let us in anyway…) I managed to obtain for a small donation this bus blind (or rollsign as the Americans call it). Shame it is so long, I have no way to Read More

Travels 2010 – Brussels, Germany, Spain, England, Italy & Poland
