history

In May 1977, the Hammer Eisenbahnfreunde (HEF) was founded as a department of the Verkehrsverein with the aim of preserving historical railway vehicles that played an important role in the city of Hamm , including the special railway junction of the DB .

In 1983, after a considerable expansion of the vehicle collection, another non-profit institution was founded - the Society of Patrons of the Museumseisenbahn Hamm e. V. -, now owner of all vehicles, since 1990 railway transport and infrastructure company. In the same year, the section of the Ruhr-Lippe Railway (about four kilometers in length ) that was threatened with closure (Hamm) -Schmehausen-Lippborg-Heintrop was taken over with a subsequent total renovation that was almost completed in 2006.

MEH maintains two siding at the Hamm RLG station for the workshop and vehicle parking, which is now called Hamm Süd - presumably in order to better distinguish it from the DB station in Hamm (Westf). Originally, however, this name belonged to a stopping point at 1.8 km. Remnants of the platform edge of the Hamm Süd stop can still be seen there.

In addition to a scheduled use on the RLG line Hamm – Lippborg-Heintrop, special trips are made within a 250 km radius in the Deutsche Bahn network . There was close cooperation between the Hamm Museum Railway and the Westphalian Railway Museum in Münster . After the dissolution of the Münster Museum in early 2011, the museum exhibits from Münster were taken over by the Hamm Museum Railway.

Vehicle inventory

The vehicle fleet (56 units in 2011) consists of two train trunks: a passenger train from the 1930s with 3rd and 4th class open-platform cars and a train composition of type 3yg conversion wagons with all the different car types from the 1950s. Six of these cars are ready for use. There are also some historical freight cars of various types. The locomotive fleet includes the following machines:
