Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2016 10:57 am
I have been to the very old city of Ghent in the south west of Belgium yesterday to visit a modelcar exposition in the Libary in the nearby village Destelbergen.
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)
Part of the exhibition:
There was much more to see, old Dinky Toys, Old Solido etc etc.
The other cabinets and more detailled pictures can be viewed here:

It was a very nice sunny day and I visit the city of Ghent afterwards, went to the nice museum of fine arts for an exhbition I wanted to visit.
A visit to a good girlfriend from late afternoon.
I was back in Amersfoort just after midnight, so a long day.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
