This was organised by the Belgium modelcar club MCCH and runs from march 3rd till march 30rd.
When I visited the modelcar swapmeet of the Belgium Beverse Modelautofanaten jan 24rd. one of the visitors told me about the exposition. He is one of the exhibitors.
On saturday the libary was only open to the public from 10.00 till 12.00 so I had to leave Amersfoort by the 1st train to Amsterdam at 4.51 in the morning, to catch the 5.52 train to Antwerpen.
This is the magnificient Central station of Antwerp at 8.15 in the early saturdaymorning !
From there, the train to Ghent.
I managed to get in the village of Destelbergen a quarter after 10.00 a clock by local bus from Ghent St Pieters Station !
There were 15 cabinets, each with another theme and each from a different collector.
Etienne Haaze, the secretary of the club was there for the day and he told a lot about the contents of the cabinets.
Etiienne collects Renault and had a cabinet with French police cars and vans (the French police is Gendarmerie)
