A portion of this collection was lost during World War II. Maliebaan station The collection was briefly located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, but in the 1950s the museum was moved back to Utrecht.

Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij
Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij () (VSM) is a Dutch heritage railway between Apeldoorn and Dieren. It passes through the villages of Lieren/Beekbergen, Loenen, and Eerbeek. Rides on steam trains are popular with tourists visiting the region, and that is why VSM operates mainly during the summer vacation. VSM, founded in 1975, is operated by volunteers. In March 2011 one of the individuals who possessed a number of locomotives decided to sell his collection. This could have meant that VSM would lose some of the biggest and most popular locomotives in their collection. VSM decided to buy the whole collection in order to keep for future generations. Back to Then Each year, on the first full weekend of September, the "Back to Then" (Dutch: ''Terug naar Toen'') event is held, using everything that will run. Usually a number of guest locomotives appear as well. The last run on Saturday used to be the highlight of the event until 2007, originating in Apeldoorn. The train was pushed and ...
