Vølund Senior
The first roller in the Damptromleklubben collection. |
 Vølund Senior no. 1678 (15) from 1931, here photographed in Brande (Jytland) 2/3 1963. Photo L.A. |
The price was DKK 700. Jørgen Permin, Bjarne Jensen, Poul Adamsen & Svend Jørgensen jointed up and bought the roller in 1965. The wilderness of the forest had taken the roller in possession and it had to be excavated free. |
Arrived at Taastrup, in the garden of Jørgen Permin mom, the roller was taken apart. 
|
The smoke box had heavy corrosion, and had to be changed. Unfortunately the corrosions was of a kind that we could not manage to restore. |
 |
The roller re-assembled and painted in its original red color. |
| We
got a contact to Egeskov Veteran Museum, whom exhibited the roller in
1966.

Vølund Senior as it looked as it left the Vølund plant at Øresundsvej on Amager (the island where Copenhagen Airport Kastrup is placed). |
