A nice start to the year 2022!
New locomotive shed doors
Last week, the shed door of stand 7 could be replaced. Now only the windows have to be installed.
Renewal of the fence to Steinstraße
In the past few weeks, work has begun on repairing the fence facing Steinstraße. The old fence was removed, the fence posts cleaned and repainted, and the area between the fence and the track behind the locomotive shed was cleared of roots so that two storage containers can be placed there in the future.
Reconditioning of the field roller
For transport purposes away from the railways, the museum owns a field roller. In the last few months, it has been extensively repaired. The old wooden floor was removed, the frame thoroughly cleaned and repainted. Finally, a fresh floor was installed. Now all that is left to do is to install the side panels.
