On Saturday morning, December 22th, 2007, we were treated to glorious winter weather. Outside the Museum O&K 0-4-0WT "Marijnke" was fired up to run the planned "Santa Specials".

Meanwhile the restoration work continued as usual. This 15-ton diesel locomotive was jacked up to remove its cast iron ballast weights. In its present condition the locomotive is too heavy for the older parts of the railway which are still laid in light track.

The first special train out on the line in beautiful conditions.

Back at the museum building the locomotive is surrounded by white vapour clouds.

Departure of the second train. Meanwhile a thaw had set in and much of the world had reverted to green and brown.
