Maldegem Steam Festival 2023

[Tim M]

Hi All,

I've never attended this Belgian steam festival.

But the line up sounds quite interesting and I thought I'd repost the details I've been sent as they have not left much time to arrange a visit - so probably need all the support they can get.

If anyone visits perhaps some photos can be shared here?

Also from the organisers :

There will be four steam locos working on the standard gauge line and two on the Narrow Gauge.

Visitors are Krupp “Hanibal” class 0-6-0t “Tom” from Hoogovens, Ijmuiden on standard gauge, and “Maaike”, O+K 0-4-0t no 6900 of 1913, from Leemspoor at Rijsen in Holland on the Narrow gauge.

There will also be three main line diesel locos visiting of which at least one should see some use on passenger trains.

As extra attractions, there will be a display of preserved farm tractors, model and live steam railways and a selection of trade stands.
