The ever growing collection of railwayana comprises model-railways, historical plates, photographs, books, magazines, documents, maps, drawings, ticket-punchers, uniforms, caps, hats, posters, signal-lanterns, parts of steam-locomotives, tools and much more. One railwayman’s cap even came from as far as Thailand.
Special features of the museum are rare finds: During sewerage works in the industrial zone of Coesfeld on January 7th 1992 quite unexpectedly a relic of the disastrous time of World War II came to light again: a driving-wheel of a steam locomotive, which was severely damaged by bombs. The 14 spokes and the diameter of 1,40 m are pointing to a Prussian 0-10-0 two-cylindered goods-engine class G 10 (DR/DB-class 57.10-40). In 1998/99 other different parts were retrieved from bomb-craters: amongst them a French wheel-set and half a Russian goods-wagon.
In the station’s basement a large model railway layout is being worked on. In another cellar the archive with all the collected railway documents found its new home.
On the siding next to the goods station the trailer of a DB-DMU VB 142 526 (995 526-1) functions as a cafeteria. A Prussian G10 goods-wagon is our workshop, a 1950s DB wagon serves as storage-room for the museum, another one for a local rent-a-bicycle. The oldest wagon of 1882 vintage carries a container with more bicycles. The longest and heaviest wagon was donated by a Coesfeld metal-working firm. Next to it our Diesel locomotive Kö 4731, named Hermann and built in 1934, is currently being restored to running order.
The railway enthusiasts created new traditions: The first of many railway-fetes around the station was celebrated on May 16th 1993, when a steam special with an oilfired 2-8-2 class, 41 241, stopped at Lette.
