In late September/early October we had a couple of weeks away in the Netherlands. While touring (in the Command Bus - as seen here) we again visited Den Helder. This has nothing to do with the motorhome parking being (a) very nice and (b) bang next to the Dutch Naval Museum.
While there I felt it would be rude not to visit the rather good model shop. Sadly this is now at the other side of town but we have bikes. As indeed does everyone in that country.
A brisk 3km of pedalling duly brought us to the requisite emporium wherein I uncovered a few bargains. Accustomed to the brand Marklin being a prelude to a ruinous price tag, I was pleased to secure the bridge above for a reasonable amount,

Good scores at the model shop Tim. The command bus looks to have plenty of storage space for hobby purchases.
What a very fin bridge - I look forward to seeing it in action in due course!

If only we can think of a scenario which involves bridges and halftracks....
A very nice find Tim!
Not in flames yet? It can only be a matter of time (the SdKfz, not the command bus)
Regards, Chris.
You should have parked 8 miles away and yomped in, if you wanted to get into the spirit of Market Garden’ :)

And all the better for being unexpected!

That's probably down to the roof-mounted MG42. The Sdkfz, not the command bus. Probably...

No - I went for the KG Von Tettau approach, but rather more quickly. Park Command Bus (or halftrack?) outside Hotel Hartenstein. Stroll in to aforesaid building and order tea and cake.
