Eurailscout - The Netherlands
Dutch Railway Society NVBS repeated an excursion that was made 40 years ago: Amsterdam-Alkmaar with a mail motor car (then brand new), by diesel to Hoorn and with steam to Medemblik.
Eurailscout measuring car "Jules" is shunted at the back of the train for the return to Amersfoort. VSM diesel locomotive 2530 will haul the train all the way from Hoorn to Amsterdam and Amersfoort (and "home" to Apeldoorn).
