How to help us
If you wish to support our action and / or participate in the life of the association, several possibilities are available to you:
1. Restoration of our “steam” equipment:
Our association has to date one of the largest private collections of historic locomotives in Europe including several impressive steam locomotives:
- Krauss-Maffei locomotive n ° 26.101 from 1943
- Locomotive Schwarzop / Hanomag / Henschel n ° 64.169 from 1921
- Knapsack locomotive n ° 10 from 1953
Unfortunately, the ravages of time and years of circulation have done their work; all these machines are non-operational but they are just waiting for one thing: to ride on Le Chemin de Fer du Bocq to amaze those who cross them! However, putting them back into service by our highly motivated and competent volunteers requires a substantial budget.
It is WITH YOU that we will once again be able to run these fabulous locomotives and restore the Bocq valley to all its railway magic! Thanks in advance!
