The 40th Anniversary of The Danish Steamroller Club2005

As a part of the activities of the Danish Railway-Club in Maribo, a group formed by Mr. Jørgen Permin, Svend Jørgensen, Bjarne Jensen & Poul Adamsen were looking for a steamroller to operate in connection with the train engine shed in Maribo. Mr. Svend Jørgensen wrote as vice president of the Danish Railway-Club to all persons, authorities and companies one could imagine having a steamroller one could take over. Several could tell that they had scraped their steamrollers, but a few could tell that they were still in possession of their steamrollers. During 1965 & 1966 the group made a picture of how many steamrollers there were left in Denmark and where they were situated. Among others Mr. Svend Jørgensen was in contact with the company Aug. Jørgensen & Troelsen, which was joint owner of a Vølund senior steamroller situated at "Dansk Dammann Asfalt A/S" in Brande. The ownership was interested in selling their steamroller and asked Mr. Svend Jørgensen to contact M. Sc. Aug. Jørgenssen if the group was interested in taking over the steam roller link. At 9 September 1965 Mr. Jørgen Permin, Svend Jørgensen, Bjarne Jensen & Poul Adamsen agreed on buying the Vølund Senior steamroller, and by that the Danish Steamroller Club was a reality.
