Erik-Jan - thanks for your exhibition announcement.

I'm a bit too far to make it, but now that I know...

I enjoyed the pictures, and the videos. I've got drawings and wheels for the 3-1/2" DB23, which is slowly bubbling to the top of the "to do" pile, so it was nice to see one completed and on a stand at the show.

I lived in The Hague for a few years 20+ years ago, and was always amazed at the attention to detail the model builders took, and the friendship and openness of the club members.

Hope the day goes well for you;

John.

Hi Erik, thanks for sharing. Do you know by chance Sigurd Wollburg? He’s from Hellevoetsluis which is not that far from Loon op Zand I think. He once visited our club and I had a nice talk with him. He showed me photos of his 7.25 locomotive. I still keep some contact with him through FB. I’m just curious.

Joan.
