Rijssens Leemspoor Foundation

Stichting Rijssens Leemspoor operates a museum railway in the Overijssel city of Rijssen. The museum tells the history of the narrow gauge railway in the field of the brick industry in and around Rijssen.

A century ago there were about 15 brick factories in Rijssen, of which four were left in the sixties. From the beginning of the 20th century until 1964, these had a narrow gauge railway to transport clay from the quarry to the factories. The first narrow gauge railway of about 4 kilometers was put into operation in 1907. Between Rijssen and Markelo there was eventually a narrow gauge network of about 12 kilometers in length.
