SCANDINAVIAN TOUR SEPTEMBER 2023 - SCHONBERGER STRAND

 SCHONBERGER STRAND

A call was made at the Museum en route to Utrecht and the ferry.  I thinkost agreed that 3 hours there was too long!

Trams on view. Apparently the Museum is run by volunteers with no paid staff and restoration work takes time as it can only be done as and when monies are enough to do the job.

BREMEN AND MUSEUM

In the depot yard with the Museum in the background

One of themembers of the Museum saw the body of the horse car on someone's premises and asked if he could have/buy it.  It was 2 years before the owner agreed to let it go.  It has had a full restoration at the Museum which took several painstaking years and is now immaculate.
