Alan,
That was an amazing weekend with sunshine all the way. A steam tour in Germany on the Saturday that linked up with another such tour at Brochterbeck where the two trains swapped engines which meant that we had at various times haulage by classes 38, 41 and 44.
I lived near Amsterdam at the time which made the second day's trip a bit easier. So, back home at 0130 and then off to Rotterdam at about 0730 for a trip that involved runpasts, parallel running (a never-to-be-forgotten experience), the last overhead semaphore gantry in action (@ Bergen-op-Zoom), lively double-heading behind a 41 and a 52 all capped by a glorious sunset.
Rgds,
Mike
