    Summer camp with a railway twist

    Discover the fascinating world of old and new trains at Train Mania 2025.

    This summer, Stoomtrein Maldegem-Eeklo is organising two unique Train Mania youth work weeks for every (aspiring) train enthusiast aged 14 to 22.

    But that’s not all. Participants also work on the railway with both historical and modern ways and assist the team in restoring old (steam and diesel) trains. There is also an opportunity for participants to experience what it’s like to operate a diesel train during an introductory driving session. In addition, the programme includes excursions offering behind-the-scences look at modern railways, along with plenty of time for relaxation and social activities.

    During these weeks, the participants receive an extensive introduction to the world of trains, from their history to their technical aspects. Our guides share numerous facts and insights with with great expertise.

    This is a truly hands-on week where historical techniques meet modern tools. No prior technical knowlegde is required – just a healthy dose of curiosity and interest.
