The
museum of Treignes
The railwaymuseum has been founded in
1994.
Since the first idea of Roger Delizée
et Roger Maegerman who then was president of CFV3V, it took 10 years
to realise the project.
The museum presents all collections of the organisation on 4 rails
of 105 meters long.
The collection showes different aspects
of the railways. There are "model trains" Marklin that will
inspire young and old. There is also an extraordinary steam engine.
You can also admire old lanterns, balances, old tools, posters who
were used in ancient railway times.
A collection of helmets and caps who
represent the importants of different railway associations all over
the world. Also small railway models in different scales are present
here.
But most important are the different
locomotives (steam, diesel, electric en railcars). Old wagons mostly
property of the association. Most of the material exposed is property
of CFV3V members, as well as the Belgian Railways (SNCB) and other
associations. Several locomotives do need little repair work to be
taken again in service. Others will stay in the museum forever.
