For 80000 euro one of them can be yours, but that my friend is just the engine, to get it inspected and have it running again you can easily pay a LOT more.

So far this is my only decent picture of a Ludmilla

hmm about $144,000 AUD.. pass my piggy bank dosent hold quite that much lol, still prettty cheap for such a good condition machine.

Hey nice shots Fitzy. I love the Obbo car with its wooden finish and coat of arms on the back.

I get the impression they might be narrow gauge of some kind. I also see most of the rolling stock in your pictures have what Phil Skene calls "chopper" couplings; same as what we still use over here.





Cheers

In the October long weekend last year I managed to get some photos of T186 and the Coffee pot.
So here they are

Dunno what this is... It was sitting in one of the sidings at the Zig Zag railways siding at Clarence, I think it mined up at Mt Isa cause it has a Isa thing on the cab side...

My friend Martin driving a LINT 41 to Au (Sieg)

Don't ask where he got the hairdo, I think he just goes to a barber with some amount of taste:p:hehe:

Ah what the heck, I'll double post:p

A pair of 140's with a Frankfurt bound freight train round the bend in the Rhein by Bingen, about 1 kilometer to the east is Ruedesheim.

pict8961pd7.jpg

A Railion Logistics 155 (former 255 of the GDR) rounds the bend between the Bingen Hbf and the bridge crossing the Nahe river, in tow are several freight locomotives on transfer to another depot (probably somewhere in the Ruhr valley).

Yet another one of the hideous Canadian built Class 66's (DE 6309) that are taking over a lot of freight service along the Rhein *shudders*. Notice a friend of mine in the left window, the Grim Reaper:hehe:

From a trip to the lower Hunter in late December 2007.

About 95m tonnes of coal is exported from the Port of Newcastle each year. At Sandgate empty and loaded coal trains stand on the branch to the Kooragang Island export loader while a local empty grain train heads north on the main line. The two tracks to the right are for coal trains accessing the second export terminal at Carrington.

A bit further north at East Maitland, a local passenger services passes a loaded coal train

On a very nice day during the summer of 2007 I visited the "Stoomgroep West" at the Zuiderpark in Den Haag.

That day three enthusiasts were driving their model locomotives and the children present had a blast. And so did I :hehe:
