The Museum Steam Depot of the Netherlands Steam Foundation features an exhibition space with a model railway, as well as various objects that provide a glimpse into how things used to be on the railways. The most important feature is the workshop, where you can see the volunteers at work maintaining their collection of steam locomotives and accompanying carriages, or making them operational if necessary. Several times a year, the steam train also departs from the depot onto the main line for a short or long journey with passengers; then the steam era, the golden age of the famous express trains, comes back to life.

The Steam Depot is a working museum. You can see the volunteers at work during the maintenance of the locomotives and carriages.

Accompanied by an SSN staff member, you can take a tour of the workshop and the outdoor grounds. During the tour, he or she will tell you all the ins and outs of the SSN, its history and activities, and of course, the collection.
