Full description
Train World occupies Schaerbeek station and tells the story of Belgian railways from the first steam trains of the 19th century onward, with more than 20 locomotives on display. Reviewers say it avoids the dusty-shed feel common to railway museums, and describe it as enjoyable even for those who are not train enthusiasts.
Families are well served by the set-piece displays. A visit of about 90 minutes covers the main halls at a comfortable pace.
Its location in Schaerbeek puts it slightly outside the centre, but it is reachable by public transport.

Reviews
A great museum with a HUGE drawback. They have a wonderful exhibit on the German occupation of Belgium but it is only in French or Flemish. I wish English would have been included. Other than that, it's all very interesting and you can see huge locomotives inside! Senior discount is available!
