On September 12, our club was visited by 18 members of the Næstved Modeljernbaneklub, a model train club from Næstved in Denmark.
Every two years, this club organises a trip to another country. For 2024, they chose to visit Brussels !
The first destination they wanted to visit was Train World, the railway museum in Schaarbeek. Unfortunately, that museum was closed for a few weeks because of the installation of a new exhibition. Apparently, this temporary closure was not announced sufficiently in advance. So on their first day in Brussels, the Danish model train enthusiasts ended up in Auto World….
Fortunately, they had also planned a visit to our club RMC-783. It was a pleasant but busy evening (18 visitors in our not so large rooms).
We showed them our H0 and H0m layouts, as well as the new N layout which is still in an early stage, and we had interesting exchanges with with our Danish friends about all aspects of model trains and about the ‘big’ trains.
We expect to meet many of our Danish friends again on September 14 at the 50th model train fair of PFT-TSP at Rétrotrain in Saint-Ghislain !
And of course, they will always be welcome to visit us again !
