Nederlands Modelspoordagen Rijswijk

The yearly Dutch Model Railway Days fair is one one of three large events in the Netherlands. I visited the 2008 edition on January 19. In this photo impression I try to cover the exhibits that impressed me most. Of course that is purely a choice of personal taste. Sorry to all who exhibited their pride and joy on this fair and don't find it displayed here.
DSCF1339a Mitropa Atelier (www.mitropa.nl) displayed a set of H0 scale modules connected together,each depicting a different scene in time. The following photo are taken from three modules. DSCF1335 Module Rhenen, series 1600 locomotive DSCF1337 Forest module. With a very scenic road crossing. DSCF1338 Forest module. They made a very good job of seriously depicting the forest floor!!
DSCF1340 Module Rhenen. Again the series 1600 engine. DSCF1341 Module Rhenen. A classic tram, as appeared throughout the Netherlands in this era. DSCF1342 Module Amsterdam. West side exit of Amsterdam Central. DSCF1343a The RTM tramway existed until 1966. It ran near my native home. I can remember it passing whistling and hooping to alarm traffic on the road crossing nearby. This HOm model is a very accurate depiction of the mood of those days.
