Postcard: Skjoldenæsholm standard gauge with bilevel rail car 22 by The Tram Museum (2007)In the summer of 2007, the Tram Museum was able to put the restored two-story motor car KS no. 22 into use. The car was built in 1900 as an accumulator car, but was already converted to overhead line operation in 1902. In 1924, the top floor was removed, but the car continued as a traffic car until about 1950, after which it was converted to a rail grinding car. As such, it was used until 1972.
Both of the car train's side cars, the closed KS no. 1253 and the open KS no. 389, were built by Scandia in 1909.By Henrik Boye, Sporvejshistorisk Selskab (SHS) - .

When the trams in Copenhagen were retired, they acquired a larger collection of trams, which were given to them by the trams themselves. One of these, 587 line 8, is standing in front of us. It was built in 1940 and was in service until the very end. From the trams, they received four Buggy carriages, two engines, two sidecars, and two trailers, one of which we will see in a moment. The carriages were stored in the Svanemøllen depot, where our members could work on them. 587 has recently been refurbished here at the museum, so it now appears in a beautiful and nearly new condition. The next carriage that arrives may perhaps show more versatility, as it wasn't just trams and buses; work vehicles are also part of the collection. And here comes our bus with our beautiful 1938 Ford V8, Nesa F 50102, an automobile tower carriage used for wiring repairs. This is done from the platform on the roof. The carriage is ejected by a hydraulic pump, allowing it to be used. The handle, the small wheel at the top of the tower, can lift the tower to quite a height, and as you might notice, the carriage is not equipped with support legs, so when the tower is fully raised, it’s quite an experience to stand up there. The last time the carriage was used was, among other things, during the establishment of street lighting at Lyngbyvejen to enhance the street's profile, where the carriage could be utilized. Since then, it was brought here for maintenance and then taken to Dong to be restored. The carriage has been refurbished at Nesa and Dong's workshops. I can tell you that when the carriage was poorly repaired, it had to be presented to the members of the Association, which happened at our annual Members' Day, where all members are invited. And there we were, about to demonstrate the carriage and talk about it when it started running. Yes, there was actually damage, so the carriage is usually exhibited inside the Valby Remise, with an opportunity to look into the box at the back, where a small workshop has been set up for on-site repairs.
I mentioned earlier that they were working on establishing a tram museum. The association's management saw that the project in Brøndby was unlikely to be feasible, so they decided instead to advertise in various newspapers, including local papers on Zealand, both to find space for a sports museum and to store trams because they expected that after the closure of track operations in Copenhagen, it would no longer be possible to store trams there. They contacted a nearby farmer, who recommended the landowner, Vilen Brundin Nergaard, at Skørn Desholm Estate. This was done on December 23, 1971, and communication was immediate and positive. He was farsighted and thought it was a good idea to have a sports museum at Skørn Holm. In 1972, they took over a barn, and this is the carriage that arrives. Here, Copenhagen's tram S1 has a snow wagon mounted in front, used to clear snow from the streets.
Similar wagons featured a salt grinder, allowing for the addition of salt as well. A tower is mounted at the back to keep it on the track. S1 was built in 1900 as a two-story traffic control vehicle. Two years later, it was converted for overhead line operation, and in 1924, it was modified into a single-story tram. In 1952, S1, also known as number 23, was converted along with a sister vehicle and operated as a rail-based tram until its closure in 1972. The SS took over both wagons and began converting S2 into a traffic control vehicle in the form of a double-decker, as it appeared after its 1924 conversion. However, one of our members, the man behind our department on Bornholm, believed that a double-decker was too dull, so he initiated a project to restore S2 to its original 1915 version, featuring a closed front and rear by the driver and the addition of a first floor to provide cover and style. Now, it’s back in regular operation here at the museum and will be able to run in traffic today. At the back is the open sidecar 389, built in 1909 and retired as a museum piece in 1936. It later belonged to the HT Museum, and in 2003, it was acquired by the museum. Open sidecars were common in Copenhagen until 1936, when they were taken out of service; most were then sold to tram operators in Helsinki.By SporvognDK - .

With SJB to Ejlers Eg - Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenæsholm (2020)In July 2020, SJB took a ride behind the wheel on KS 587 to Eilers Eg, at Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenæsholm's usual track section. Along the way, some information is shared about the stretch, both with text and with one of the museum's knowledgeable conductors in the background.
With SJB heading to Eilers Eg (Eilers Oak), the forecourt is where the trams leave for the forest. Welcome aboard Line 16 from Copenhagen. I won't say too much yet, except that you might find this an unusual place for city trams to run through the forest or the gold court. So, we’ve tried to make this first section feel a bit more city-like by adding scenery meant to look like shops; however, they aren't real shops, just 1.5 meters deep. They're decorated with various items I'd like you to enjoy. I'll be quiet for a moment. The museum street Tobakmarken (Tobacco field), opened in 1985 and closed in 2017, marks where the line becomes single-tracked, with signals controlling traffic. On the left, the signals are marked with "S" for stop and "I" for go. I also want to tell you about the trams you're riding in. They originate from the Copenhagen Tramways and are part of a class that includes 118 motor cars and 83 trailers built in the 1930s. By this time, the first electric trams from 1901 to 1910 were showing their age. The fact that they ran until 1966 is a story in itself, but that’s why this class was built. Design-wise, they turned out well, with both motor cars and trailers now identical, unlike at the start of the 20th century. This class lasted until Copenhagen's last tramline closed in 1972. Tram 587 was built in 1940, making it one of the later ones in the class. Flemmingsminde (in memory of Flemming), opened in 1987, is where we are now, at a stop called 'Flemmingsminde." On our right, there's a small shed serving as a waiting room, initially placed at Vestre Kirkegårds Allé when the tram line was served by horse trams in 1893. It is 127 years old. When electric trams were introduced, they continued to serve. After buses took over, the area became obsolete as a waiting space, because buses could now go directly to the graveyard. The stop is named after a society member who fell over a mast for the overhead wires in 1985—the remains of the toppled mast can still be seen next to the first mast on the left. After the tram service ended here, the waiting room was used as a tool shed by graveyard workers, allegedly made out of old gravestones. Inside, there's a small exhibit about the railway the tramway was built on—the Midland Railway, which only operated for 11 years before closing. We’re now approaching "Skovkanten" (Forest's Edge), signaling we're entering the forest. Here, we'll pass another tram from today—a double-decker from 1900. Fun fact: Copenhagen was the only Scandinavian capital to have this tram type. Your tickets are valid on all trams, so if you want to ride the double-decker, feel free. Skovkanten opened in 1990. The tram passes Gammel Sparegodtvej (Old Sparegodt Road), where the driver rings the bell to alert pedestrians. On the left, you can see the stop of the same name. Broen (The Bridge), opened in 1993 with a new platform added in 2018, is the next stop. It’s named "Broen" because of the nearby bridge about 50 meters ahead, built where a railway once ran, and a road crossing was needed. The bridge is still owned by BaneDanmark (rail infrastructure), who occasionally check its condition rather than replacing it. It's also a popular photo spot for tram enthusiasts. We'll soon reach the terminus, Eilers Eg (Eilers Oak), and after a short break, we'll head back to the museum. You're welcome to stay on or get off and walk in the forest. Eilers Eg opened in 1999. Here, the tram enters a loop and passes the museum's café, with a tram from Düsseldorf to the right. The tram attendant is just reminding passengers that trams run at 10-minute intervals. The tram on the left is a mockup used on a Copenhagen school’s playground, replacing an old trailer. You can enjoy food that's been brought along, even if the weather’s bad. The waiting room to the right, located initially at Fruens Bøge (the lady's beech), is now part of the museum, donated by Odense City Council. More info about the museum: www.Sporvejsmuseet.dk.
