Hi All,
I have just created a Belgium depot guide on my website.
Please take a look and let me know your comments and views.
Thanks Ade from Torquay

My Belgium Depot Guide
Nice site, good maps. I've thought about something like it for spotting-locations, but I didn't had enough time for it yet.
How did you visited those depots, did you just entered them and asked if you could have a look, or did you contact the Belgian railways first? I'm just wondering, because I was in Montzen a while ago, and saw the old locomotives at some distance, but was a bit scared by the no entry signs...

Belgium Depots
With all the depots in Belgium I found you have to be a bit brave and just go in and find the Depot chef. So long as you have a Yellow vest on I have only been told no once.
Th eonly depot I have not been round yet is Charleroi, where i got a definite no.
I have tried to find the addresses for the Belgium Railways to ask permission in advance but haven't find any.
I would like to go to Salzinnes works, but this would have to be a permit I think.
I wish I had more time to complete my site, with more maps and guides, but the weeks just go too fast.
I am visiting Belgium again for 5 days on August the 30th, so another good visit is on the cards.
Any help or other Questions please ask.
