In 2004 it underwent a major renovation project which created the following:
  • An extensive playground

  • More interactivity (such as "rides" that show what railways used to be like) and games inside carriages, and being able to go inside carriages, such as the mail sorting car and the possibility to hear the stories of actors, impersonating people from the golden era of trains.

  • A show: Which is presented in the "world" number 2. It talks about what it would be like to voyage on the Orient Express

  • Worlds.The division of the area into three "worlds". World 1 is set in a mining village, followed by a station where you can see the first Dutch train ever, the "Arend" (Arend is Dutch for Eagle). World 2 is set in the golden era of railwys, at the end of the 19th century. You enter in a station, and to gain access to the theatre, you mast go throught a fake Timbuctou -style town. World 3 is the most "ride"-like world of them all. It seems to happen somewhere in between 1920 and 1990

  • One Restaurant (a self-servce) with high capacity

  • A Café

  • A total restructuring, which involves moving the entire museum into a brand-new building, the old station building has been to converted to hold the ticket booths, the café and several restrooms.
