The Dutch HRCA had an O-gauge layout at the Rail 2006 event, which was held from Friday October 13th up until Sunday October 15th. This was the first time that the Dutch HRCA visited this event. Henk Brouwer and Peter Zwakhals made up the layout team this time, with Henk Dubbelt, Duco Postmaa and Hans van Dissel helping as stewards.

A record for the Dutch HRCA layout. We had 12 parallel tracks. On the outside 2 ovals of double track, made up from Alan Middelton's excellent replica track. In the middle we had 4 sidings connected to the outer tracks. And then we added another 4 sidings for goods trains. |

A Hornby layout is not complete without adding some items of the famous Meccano factory. A Meccano airplane and some Dinky's made up a small airfield in a corner of the layout. |

A look at the train depot. All the bigger type of Hornby locos were present, all running on 20 volts. |
