Very good museum

5.00The Train World is a beautiful museum located in the old station of Schaerbeek. Many locomotives are located there, taking us back in time. There is also a temporary exhibition on the SNCB during the Second World War.
Not to be missed

5.00Beautiful museum, mixing explanations and reconstructions. We walk in several spaces, with clear themes. The museum also offers temporary exhibits (the station under occupation during our visit) which adds further interest to the visit. Plan to spend at least an hour and a half there.
Highly recommend!

5.00This museum was one of the best we’ve ever seen, and we are a family that visits train museums every chance we get. The kids loved it and could have spent even more time there, but alas, we had to leave eventually. We highly recommend a visit!
Interesting

4.00We found the museum very interesting! Only sometimes the English or German translation for the texts on display is missing.
A great museum - accessible to disabled people throughout!

5.00The Eisenbah Museum of the Belgian Railways is located in the old Schaerbeek station and an adjacent new building. Arriving by S-Bahn is therefore obvious, even if the trams are waiting in front of the building. We were overwhelmed by how the whole facility was carefully decorated and comes out totally well maintained and clean. A bistro was even set up in the station - a little like in the old station restaurant where there was Crocque Monsieur. The greatest railway museum ever and only cheap! Thank you SNCB/NMBS.
Fantastic place if you love (old and new) trains

5.00This museum was on my to do list for a very very long time. We finally visited with our two children. First thing that strikes is the old Schaarbeek station building. You then walk outside next to the train tracks to the new building, where all the major exhibits are and take a journey back in time to present. Visiting various (steam) trains. While our small children were mainly interested in watching historical raisins, we loved to read more about them. There were some very interesting trains to see (Red Cross train from WWII, an old TEE) all the way up to mock ups and models of TGV and Eurostar. We spent a couple of hours here in total. The only ‘feedback’ about this museum is its lighting. Or lack thereof. It’s very dark inside. Until you each the last hall where there’s daylight. While it gives the trains a dramatic appeal, at some times it felt as if I was visiting a night club
Beautiful museum with impressive expo!

5.00A very nice museum in and near the station building of Schaerbeek. The exhibition starts in the old station building where the old, beautiful ticket offices can be viewed. Via a short walking path next to the tracks you reach the new halls which are very nicely and impressively decorated. Currently there is also the expo of the role of the SNCB during the occupation in the Second World War. It highlights all the points of view: the vision of the German occupier, the vision of the boss of the SNCB, the vision and suffering of the railway staff and of course the suffering of the many people who met their deaths with the help of the SNCB. The personal stories, photos and documents leave a deep impression. A black page in our history that should certainly not be forgotten.
Beautiful

5.00Nice museum, suggestive, with a lot of ancient trains and more. Suitable for children, it leaves you speechless at the size of locomotives and wagons. Well done. Little gift shop.
A fun morning visit

5.00I wanted to check the museum out as it looked quite impressive in photos. It was a very enjoyable, interesting experience that would be excellent for anyone remotely interested in trains. It seems to be very popular among school children too, so it's certainly family friendly. A lot of care and attention has gone into the museum and the staff are very friendly too. There's a lot to see. An express visit might take you 1-2 hours, but you could easily spend longer here. Very accessible and many toilets dotted around.
Great experience

5.00Great experience, we are not necessarily a fan of trains but it was super fun to do! It was surprising when you don’t know by train!
