Classic British Flight Sim

On 11 July an 1887-built steam locomotive came to the rescue of a Dutch Electric Multiple Unit that was stranded near Hoorn, North Holland after the catenary was damaged.

Sri Jelle.. can't read that link. It comes up with a box (two boxes) in Dutch with everything behind it out of focus. Sadly.. my Dutch isn't up to much

I get the gist of what the article says from your description above. Darned good job someone decided to keep the old girl running

I see the problem, that's the standard 'cookie warning' that's getting in the way. This should work as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11LrH-jkq98

The steam loco is from the local historic railway that runs between Hoorn and Medemblik, they normally only transport tourists.

That's great One itsy bitsy little engine pulling that great thing

Yes Jelle.. I understood cookies but I wasn't sure about installer. Now you've said what it is.. it was obviously warning that 'this' site uses cookies. D'oh!

Got there in the end

No problem Dave, that site doesn't use the standard text so it took me a while to figure out where to click to get rid of it!

A heart warming sight for any steam fan.

Magic. Reminds me of an old Top Gear when they were testing fancy new 4x4's, BMW's and the like, in a farmers muddy field. Every single vehicle got bogged down in a muddy creek and couldn't get out. Who comes to their rescue but the farmer in his 1950's Land Rover. Mud no problem.

I'm not sure just how international lawyers work, but I'd be interested to see them sort out a dispute over any breach of the agreement.
Here's a little extract for those who exited the screen before scrolling down:

Yes, Your Honour, but when I said that I thought that he knew what I meant.........

Oooh! Nearly forgot - cute video.

Proper technology!!!

Something similar happened a few years ago, when our ultra high tech electric Eurostar trains were brought to a standstill by a spot of cold weather.
To the rescue? - a recently built Peppercorn class A1 Pacific - Tornado.

I loved Mark Allatt's quote (A1 Steam Locomotive Trust), - 'If any operators want to modernise their services by using steam trains, I would be happy to give them a quote'.

Gladly relieved she didn't have to be recovered by the likes of a certain crane crew.
I'll say no more.
