About
This railway museum is built around a real station, Maliebaan, with platforms and halls full of historic locomotives.
Kids ride Steel Monsters, a cart on real rails through the dark past hissing engines, and Trial by Fire, a prize-winning attraction through 200 years of railway history. In the Techlab they close a circuit to move a train, pedal to feel its energy use and pull an emergency brake.
