For myself Wednesday the 12th was spent in the Netherlands
The weeks holiday included Utrecht which has a Spoorwegmuseum ( Train Museum ) which we visited and I must say It was more impressive than York Railway Museum.
So a few photos of the hours spent there. Like he GWR they also have old railway artefacts on display and associated items
Plenty of models in all sizes
Old time pieces
Old engines
Masses of outdoor spaces full of displays and you can just wander around.
The Orient Express has Cairo street, the offices and hotels along the journey.
The mine shaft takes you back to 1937 and Stevensons Rocket
There are Simulators were you ride through time and scenes we got the 4 drivers seats it is back to the future stuff after instructional videos.
The most interesting engine surely is the giant 4-8-4 tank 6317, which is hidden in a dark part of the museum. You can only see it by going on some sort of a ghost train ride, and then you only catch a glimpse of it :-(
