13-14, 20-21, 27-28 October : The
special trip with the N and SE class on the light rail system of Charleroi
See our special page. |
|
 |
26 August : After 7 years waiting and
many vicissitudes, the SE
9974 has been put under voltage and the results are positive as well in
600 as in 24 volts. Only the air systems will require some more attention.
The future works will involve a new painting of the furniture and the fixing
of the destination blinds frames. Much work in sight ! |
|
 |
15 August : With the restoration of the
Type N, and the
fitting of correct blind rolls, the festival, under the motto of the
"Group Leuven" has
been a success. The five electric motorcars (PCC,
Standard,
Eugie,
Type N and
9073) and the train
hauled by diesel car 86 have carried almost 700 persons during these three
days.
The star was definitely the type N which was
also the most photographed.

8 August : The Type N is just coming
out of restoration. On this picture
it carry already its temporary pantograph and still one trolley.
For the festival and some upcomming special trip, this car will run with the
number 10490 and a pantograph to simulate a motorcar from the Group Leuven. |
|
 |
14 July : Now the
SE 9974 is also recovering
his cream livery. |
|
 |
6 May :
Its run! The 9924 has
run by its own on the workshop yard. The whole 600 V and the 24 V are
operational. Only the woodwork has still to be refitted.
The type N is back to its
cream livery.
This is a very good news as it is now sure that it will be ready for the
summer festivities. |
|
 |
21 April : Works on the
9924 are slowly but
surely progressing. The
electrical wirework is now completed; this will enable to put it soon
under voltage. |
|
 |
7 April : Track works just before the
Pont du Nord. 30 sleepers have been
replaced and
tamped. |
|
 |
1 April : The pantograph from the N
class has been repainted a
lovely green colour. |
|
 |
16 March : The repainting of the N
class has started. After a
coat of primer for non-ferrous metal,
a coat of finishing mastic has
been applied by spray gun. There is still a lot to be done, but the
final paint finish will soon be applied.
The “Manage” has received its air brake system and traction resistances.
The brake trials were
successfully completed. |
|
 |
25 February :
The work on 9924 continues.
Still lacking iron plates have
been fitted this Sunday. The following step will be to replace the
mouldings and the inside woodwork. |
|
 |
3 February :
Four vehicles are
simultaneously in hand. A record!
- 9974 : re-wiring of the heaters.
- 9385 : work on the driving
cab plate
- 10480 : rubbing down of the
body before applying putty
- 9924 : creation of a cable
canal for the 600 V
- Infrastructure: installation of insulators to permit the electrification
in a very next future of the track number 5 of the museum building.

 |
7 January : The magnetic track brakes
of the N class tram have given us a lot of work. In theory the height is
adjustable, but this adjustment had not been done for 30 years and the
mechanism was stuck. It took many hours to free and service the various
parts of this adjusting mechanism.
Trials which took place on 7
January were successful. One more thing sorted out!
