Streamlined showpiece

Star exhibit at the Train World railway museum in Schaerbeek, Brussels must surely be 12.004, one of a small class of streamlined SNCB 4-4-2s that were new in 1939. They were designed to haul express trains from Oostende, but had little chance to show their paces before World War II and Nazi occupation intervened. The loco remained in service until 1962.
