Description

Catalog description
Novelty 2025: In the 1930s, light railcars with Brossel engines were built in Belgium, including unit 553.12, which initially ran on the Bruges–Maldegem line and later, as unit 4903, was used in the Ardennes and at the port of Antwerp. It was officially retired in 2000 but remained popular with railway enthusiasts due to charter trips and its operation on the Vennbahn. Eventually, it returned to the Maldegem–Eeklo line in its original livery.
