Surprise... trains on show at the nearest town (Alkmaar)

Star of the day: BR23 23-071 operated by the 'Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij' (www.stoomtrein.org). This one drove between Alkmaar and the next town

First run of the day... started 30 minutes late because the water was too cold and they just filled the locomotive. The weather was still good at that time

As the weather got worse (rain, snow)... the performance of my crappy camera went downhill.But still loads of smoke and stuff.

'Hondekop' on show, both diesel (red one) and electric (green one). The blue-and-white one is a regular commuter train

This huge diesel locomotive was used to haul the steam train back after it's short trip (it wasn't possible to turn the locomotive around at the stops)

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

That's the stations parking lot, no active traffic there. There was one steam locomotive driving around there but they had two guys with red flags to keep an eye on it

Great stuff! Sure is different to see something like that. Takes me back to my home, near a big railroadstation for freighttrains. I could watch them for hours using a binocular...

By the way, nice to know you are Dutch!

Fantastische fotos! en schitterende stoomlocomotief!
