After a small series with steam locomotive wheels (TPF thread) I thought it would be nice to add a series with special Dutch trains. Short time ago I visited the Railway Museum in Utrecht NL, which I think is the only museum in the world that you walk in directly from the train platform and saw some interesting stuff.

De Kameel (The Camel) is the latest addition to the Railway Museum, it's a train from 1954 used as an inspection and management vehicle, the name comes from the 2 bumps on the roof where the train driver took the seat.
This train, nickname VIP car, was also rented out to businessmen and celebrities, such as pop group Queen
