The steam train at the beginning with the engine from "Côtes du Nord"

Created in 1976 upon the site of the remote "Chemins de fer Èconomiques Valmondois-Marines", the fellowship members of the museum have patiently restored a considerable collection of vintage rolling stock originating in ancient railway companies. This proceeding has started by the salving of the wrecks of two locomotives of the remote "Tramways de la Sarthe". The tracks of the lace shed are soon rebuilt and the collection completed by the first coaches of the association, from the "Tramways d'IIIe-et-Vilaine". In 1986, the volonteers undertake to rebuid a section of the ancient line. The "Chemin de Fer des Impressionnistes" opens to the public. From 1990 to 1992, a building is erected and fit up for the museum. To day, our collection is the largest in France as far as the topic about branch fine trains is concerned.

In 1999, the fellowship has got a new naine, as the

"Musée des Tramways à Vapeur et des chemins de fer Secondaires français".

Its collection includes :

• 10 steam locomotives
• 5 diesel Shunters
• 1 electrical rail-car
• 3 Diesel rail-cars
• 27 coaches
• 30 goods trucks

The Museum is located beside SNCF railway station of Valmondois at Butry-on-Oise (Valley-of Oise) to 3 km of Auvers-on-Oise and of Ille-Adam. For the conditions access of seeing this heading. To place you to see this heading
