Dordrecht in stoom 2014

[chbeyer]

Hi,

I'm back from Dordrecht and it was quite a nice steam event in a particular nice urban setting.

There were roundabout 25 original size engines and some more miniatures I guess, did not count the miniatures, they were mainly 4" scale with some 6" amongst them.

The driver camp was a bit remote with a small road run of maybe 3 km to the centre of the town so I took the opportunity and made some pics on a bridge were everybody had to come by.

Please excuse the quality I'm not a big photographer and only have a tiny camera, it should be OK though to recognize the engines and maybe some interesting details

The setting next to the 'Gracht':


Weather was great:

Very nice, a german Kemna

Hi David,

thanks, I just had a quick look over them on a small tablet and they looked a bit blurred in parts. Might have been a 'local' problem, looks OK to me too now

I will post some more later

cheers

There was a steam train running with two german locos, a '01' in this pic




At the model engineer show there were quite some nerds mainly with toy trains and this guy:




Steam ships all over the place - auf cause !










Taking a break:








The fire brigade was on duty:




A famous german loco in 5" called 'Glaskasten'
















That's all I got

Hi Michael,
