Dutch HRCA 2006 AGM (1) (2)


Paul van Hooft had brought a lovely 20 volt JEP Train Set, including a rheostat type transformer with a lamp in original packaging. We had some discussion on whether the lamp was originally included in the set (it turned out the packaging was original, but the lamp itself a later replacement).

Hans his items

Among his items Hans van Dissel had a locomotive of uncertain manufacture. It is a 4-6-4 New York Hudson, probably a 1940s Lobaugh. Hans would like to hear of anyone who could positively identify the loco (use the contact button).

Jan van Manen en Chris Bloos paid us a quick visit, after they had learned of the meeting thru the Dutch HRCA's website. Jan had brought a Hornby GWR E220 Special Tank Locomotive, and was looking for some parts (and tips) to get it running again.

On our public layouts, Niek van Ees is always concerned about the scenery. No exception this time. Niek had brought his eBay bargain of the year in the form of a Hornby No. 4 Station. He quickly added some rails, a No. 50 Brake Van and several Dinky Toys Figures to complete the scene.

No meeting is complete without a bring-and-buy table. Henk Brouwer had also brought a nice selection of sales stock from his Famous Toys internet store.

Our host Gert Jonker limits his collection the clockwork only. Peter Zwakhals (right) brought along an oval of 3-rail and a transformer the test some of the electric locomotives the members had brought along. Paul van Hooft’s Jep PO Locomotive from the 20's needed some help to get running.
