The
Nationaal Smalspoormuseum, Stoomtrein Valkenburgse
Meer, Leiden, Holland hosted another 'Narrow Gauge
Model Days' at the Museum on what must have the
hottest weekend of the year. As usual Pieter van der
Ham and his team made us most welcome and great time
was had by all. Mick Thornton was there
to record some of the highlights. (JJ)
