Dutch engine makes
Bolnes, Kromhout, Brons and Werkspoor stand alongside foreign manufacturers. Compare cylinder, flywheel and controls, and see which parts had to remain accessible for lubrication, starting and maintenance.
Power without a vehicle
A stationary engine gains meaning through the machine or installation it drove. For each engine, ask about its original use; without that link, all that remains is an impressive but isolated mechanism.
Open days and appointments
The museum publishes separate open days in a calendar. Outside those dates, visits are only possible by appointment. Also check whether engines will be started during your visit, as operational does not automatically mean demonstration.
Before you go
There is no fixed weekly schedule. Check the calendar first or make an appointment, and ask whether a demonstration can be part of the visit.
