Went here as a child, it was amazing! Must go again sometime.

Wow, pretty good. I watched it twice to see how they did the catenary system. Looks to me like the overhead is powered.
Interesting way they have tensioned the catenary too, there is a wheel at the end post, but looks cosmetic. Maybe springs inside the 2 tubes either side of the wheel?

Some very nice modeling on show.

Although I worked in the Netherlands back in the day, I regrettably never got to visit there....

It's over '60 years since I visited there as a small child with my parents. I think it has inspired my model making and model railway efforts ever since. Max

For our next trip to Europe, maybe I can convince Mrs P. to make that part of our itinerary.

Same here as a Child in the Mid 80s, think it may have been my first trip abroad. Dad took the Caravan to site over there via the Hook of holland ferry, should have gone back on my recent NL/DE over there.

I remember being bought really salty liquorish that warned me off the stuff for life !
