This weekend was the annual festival at my local steam railway here in Holland.
I promised Hot water that I'd try to film a BR44 in action this weekend, but neither were in steam. The one below was ready at the shed, and the other was halfway through being re-painted. So I wasn't able to film either of them steaming through the Dutch countryside this year. I'll try again next year.
Anyway, there was quite a good selection of locomotives in steam, and here are a few of them. I hope that they may be of interest.

Even an old diesel or two were running freight trains between the 3 stations this weekend.

This BR44 wasn't in steam today.

Although I didn't get any photographs of it this year, a BR01 pacific was also in steam yesterday and I rode behind it for one trip.
