Two survivors facing each other at last
A scene that sadly cannot be replicated in real life, since even though both of these engines are in 'preservation', one has an expired boiler ticket and the other one (Europe's heaviest tank engine of all) is stuck in a kiddie-coaster. And yes, I'm still salty.
Both reside at the Dutch Railway Museum, with little to no hope of ever seeing these under steam again. Maybe for the 200th anniversary of the Dutch Railways, a miracle will happen...
Well now that we've finished the sob story, today I visited Tamás, and we had his 3737 meet my 6317, two of the survivors of the grand purge of steam in the 50's.
