Het Groot Belgisch Treinen Forum

Hi there! I hope you don’t mind English on your Forum as I only speak a little Flemmish, even though I am half Dutch as my mother comes from Heerlen.. I have visited the area of Zuid Limburg many times and enjoy visiting the ZLSM at Simpelveld in Nederland.
I hope someone can understand. I hope I have put my message in the correct area of your forum

Mijn naam is Cliff. Ik leef in Engeland, 50km zuidwesten van Londen en 80km van Southampton. Ik ben een grote Ventilator van het Spoor en was variëer gelukkig om uw forum te vinden..
In Groot-Brittannië hebben wij een zeer grote beweging van het Behoud van de Spoorweg met bijna 100 erfenisspoorwegen en museum.
Een lijst is hier. http://www.heritagerailways.com/abc.html

Mijn lokale Stoom/ de erfenis spoorweg is’Mid –Hants Railway’, The Watercress line (De lijn van de Witte waterkers). Het is een 15km lange spoorweg die door vrijwilligers in werking wordt gesteld.

Er is heel wat hoofdlijnstoom hier in het UK met heel wat railtours. Hier is mijn Website.

Ik ben geinteresseerd in alle dingen met Spoorwegen en ander erfenisvervoer met inbegrip van Bussen te doen, Trams, Auto's en Kanalen. Ik ben vooral geinteresseerd in de oude Britse Zuidelijke Spoorweg, ook erfenis Diesels en Electrics. Wij hebben een forum zeer gelijkend op van u in Groot-Brittannië. Hier is een verbinding.

This is why you shouldn't use automatic translators.

It's easier to just do this in English. I'm sure most people will understand, and the ones interested in your forum will have to talk English as well, won't they?

I'll have a look at the forum though. Where are you from exactly? I've been to that area quite often. i've got a friend in Liphook.

Heerlen, that's the Netherlands

I don't think many will bother if it's in English, en als iemand het niet begrijpt, moet-ie maar een vertaler vragen...

The most important vintage railways in Belgium are SCM, the Steam Centre in Maldegem (http://www.stoomcentrum.be), who operate a little line between Eeklo and Maldegem, and a narrow gauge line between Maldegem and Donk and the CFV3V between Mariembourg and Treignes. Main organisation is the bilingual TSP/PFT (http://www.pfttsp.be), other smaller organisations are Kolenspoor in Limburg, the PFT who operate the Bocq Railway, the BVS (Dendermonde-Puurs), and perhaps I forget some... The Vennbahn has gone, unfortunately...

EDIT: enkele kleine foutjes verbeterd, met dank aan Tim.

small correction, if one wishes to see the site of Maldegem, the real adress is http://www.stoomcentrum.be

kind regards

Many thanks for your kind words. Its good to find fellow train fans in other countries.

I live in Frimley on the Surrey/Hampshire border, close to Farnborough (where they have the Airshow).
Here is a MAP of where Frimley is in the top right, Liphook is just off the bottom of the map, about 30km from me. That is close to the sight of the old Longmoor Military Railway - http://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/9/longmoor.htm

I look forward to taking more activity in your forum and I hope some of you will regester with our forum.

Oh thanks for the links to your heritage railways, I will have a look at them

Farnborough? I go past there once in a while!, and I used to live in Southampton.

Vertaling:

Farnborough? I ga daar soms voorbij!, en ik woonde in Southampton.

The airshow is legendary. Spitfires all over the place skimming the runway.

If you like Spitfire's, have a look at this website, Excellent works of art.
An example here. http://www.aviationartprints.com/spitfi ... rcraft.htm

ENJOY!
