Meccano exhibition (1) (2)


Being a one-day show, we built a smaller layout than usual. As in the past we restricted the locos and rolling stock to a joint LNER-LMS operation. Here the E220 Special locomotive 'Bramham Moor' can be seen, just leaving the station.

Hornby LMS locos

The LMS motive power depot with almost every type of locomotive made in the O-gauge range.

Some of the Goods trains on display. As usual there was an exception on the LNER-LMS theme: for display purposes we used a post-war Goods trains, made up from No. 50 stock and an electrified No. 40 Tank locomotive.

Dinky Toys Fire Station

To complete the layout, Henk Brouwer brought some of his Dinky Toys. Here you can see No. 954 Fire Station, complete with fire engines.

No. 785 Service Station, Pullmore car transporter and a selection of cars made a nice display at the Goods Depot.

Newspaper picture

This scan was made from a picture from the local newspaper. They published an article on the Hornby show the next day. A first time for the Dutch HRCA!

Dutch HRCA member Duco Postmaa brought, with some nice clockwork locos, this French Hornby OBB loco. Just when the camera was set, it derailed in spectacular fashion......
