Last weekend, the Dutch scale zero enthusiasts had their annual meeting in Zutphen. A real surprise for me was to see a large purple MTH box and the 5 CIWL passenger cars. They run on the large oval behind a classic Dutch steamer of the 3700 Class. MTH seems to have convinced the fine scaling zero-2-rail community with it price and quality.
It was a peaceful meeting of model train enthusiasts and various modellers showed their projects. Another large surprise was the "Free to take" (Gratis mee te nemen) text in front an expensive beautiful Dutch steamer, must either be a joke or a mistake.
And there was a three-railers corner. A friendly
sales representative of Merkur, ETS and Lehnhardt taught me a bit about those Czech model trains. The large red passenger car for instance is sturdy, but still only 40 Euro, which compares pleasantly with other tin-plate brands.
All in all it was a very pleasant meeting and I am looking forward to the next one.
