EddieB Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Exactly that, Metr0! For a small country, Luxembourg has a great deal of railway interest. Here's a CFL maintenance vehicle in operation at Rodange, in November 2004. To me, the combination of a pantograph and a gantry platform seems quite incredible. Staying in the Benelux countries, next a famous Belgian (or connection to a famous Belgian). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted July 7, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2017 Given that most famous Belgians are actually fictional like Poirot and Tintin, is Georges Nagelmackers famous enough? If that's ok then how about something relating to chocolate (the product, not necc something brown) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieB Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Something relating to chocolate? Perhaps that's the kindest way to describe this company's products... Surprised that those famous Begians, Walschaerts and Belpaire didn't figure in the reckoning. Ok, now something built in Seraing by Belgian's famous adopted railway son - John Cockerill (an Englishman). Edited July 7, 2017 by EddieB 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Does De Arend in the Utrecht museum count? If so, then a train with a windmill please. If it's a Dutch steam train with a windmill, all the better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Looks like another of your challenging challenges has proved too much of a challenge, Eddie! Sorry, I didn't expect that request to go unanswered. Cockerill built nearly 400 vertical-boiler "coffee pot" shunters, several being exported to the UK and five (in various states) still in existence in this country. The company built many main line steam and diesel locomotives, principally for the SNCB (and its predecessors) but exports went around the world.

Edit: I have found a distant shot of the mill, in the background of a 171 in Rye station. I will upload it when the system allows.

If I'd not been 'sans tinterweb' (or indeed away from home) yesterday I could have dug out a pic of the one that was (is?) at Middleton Railway, had the pleasure of a trip behind it some years ago.
