The foundation STAR (Stadskanaal Rail) operates a lively museum train traffic on the line Veendam – Stadskanaal – Musselkanaal in the northern corner of province Groningen. STAR has a very extensive collection of old trains. They also renovate and put in operating condition locomotives, which as a starting point can look like being in tremendously bad condition.
These are old German TEE (Trans Europ Express) coaches that STAR sometimes uses in its museum trains. This one is a TEE conductor's coach and behind it is a normal 2nd class TEE coach.

This old coach belongs to a so called Blokkendoos (tin plate can) train, officailly known as Materieel '24 from 1924. They were used for a long time in regional short-haul trains around Amsterdam.
The dog in the front is our late border terrier Tau, who during her life participated in train spotting - err, sniffing ;-) - in 19 countries.

This old switcher locomotive of the type Sik, number 353 is not really beautiful, but they were commonplace soon after WWII in the Netherlands. It was a diesel-electric machine with an engine of the type Stork Ricardo C 153, built in 1950. Similar machines were built since 1934. Power rating is a modest 62,5 kW and top speed is 60 km/h. This one was previously owned by Strukton Rail, before it came to STAR in 1998. In 2010 it was still in active use in shunting at Stadskanaal.

Yet the same Sik 353n named "Opa", but seen from the back. It's a very peculiar looking machine.

The locomotive "Rudolf" of the type Stephenson built by English Electric, Vulcan Works, Newton-le-Willows of Veendam was the first diesel locomotive of the STAR and since late 1994 it was on loan to the Akzo Delfzijl factory. It is defective since 1996 and is waiting if STAR gets enough resources to put it in working order again.

Confusing to see this train in the Netherlands ! This old wooden motorwagon is from the Holmenkollenbanen, running from downtown Oslo uphills to the famous ski sports area of Holmenkollen in Norway. God only knows how it got to be transported to Holland. Nevertheless, here we see it at the area of a private company, very close to the Amersfoort train station. Apparently it was being used as a conference room.
