The traincompartment in the care centre is a big succes !!
Even before the official opening the inhabitants and their caretakers removed the plastic foam from the chairs and spend the whole weekend in the train

Many of the mostly demented elderly enjoy the landscape behind the windows. They report about memories of the travels they made by train or car.
Two ladies who cannot find any rest usually and walk up and down the corridor without taking a pause. Now they sit in the compartment for hours on end peacefully listening to the typical sound of the wheels on the tracks.
Coffee and tea are served by the nurses to the ladies in the train. Even the dinner is eaten in the train

Yvonne (here on the picture) and I feel very relieved that after three years of work it is almost finished. Moreover the succes makes us extremely happy. It makes us forget all the difficulties we had to overcome.

Like finding out what kind of video machines we needed. Advanced enough to be able to synchronize the four screens in showing the landscape sliding by. Stable enough to run for ten years without a mistake. Beamsystems did a very good job in conquering all the problems we met.

I am a student of Independent University, Bangladesh. I was once got an opportunity to listen to Lino Hellings lecture in our university. By that lecture i got to know about this train compartment. It really a nice idea and i also want at least once to try it.
Thanks...
Sayed
