Linz Gstadt Bahn

Great pics again Paul - I love the 4th one, oozing atmosphere

Beautiful pictures! Really got the atmosphere of a steam railroad nightshift.

Brilliantly (forgive the pun) balanced lighting Paul. I know just how hard it is to achieve that!
Keep them coming

A night study of the 2095 loks.

Great picture!

That reminds me. I must make an effort to get some lighting in my buildings this year.

Paul as usual good technical photography but the diesels don’t have the same atmosphere as the old steamies I think. Well didnt mean American,

Great photo; I can just imagine the quiet thrum of the diesels idling.

Nice pic, but on a purely personal level i have to agree with Peter (Frenchuffed) I think the outline of a steamer with all the nooks and crannies looks much better under light than the smooth sided Diesels.

mikey

Almost prototypical - if you squint. Two new wagons - Class III coach and the post van.

The garden is slowly turning green.
In the meantime. a few pictures of recent running.

Great sunny pictures Paul!
However the last one is not as sunny like the rest
Is that the Pola engine shed?

I did also enjoyed the beautiful weather the last weeks and today peaks with 22 °C!!!
No pictures though... not much running, too much things to do around the house

The engine shed is completely scratch built from 3mm thick plastic sheet.
It is based on the shed at Garsten depot on the Ybbstalbhan in Austria.
This one........

VERY NICE!
That is some beautiful scratbuilding work. The shed looks so great on the snowy picture.
Any more pictures of it? (perhaps from the build also?).

Thank you for your kind words.

There was an article in Garden Railways magazine on the build, but I no longer have the photos as the computer falied and I lost the build stages.

I do have a few pics of the shed out at Linz station.....




This is the original :

Sunny weather equals running trains.

The last photograph has that lived in feeling, if you crop the track in the immediate foreground it could be 1 / 1. The othere are very chrisp indeed, all looking very good.

Again a nice treat of beautiful pictures Paul. And very inspirational!

It’s all looking so good Paul, I think we have run out of superlatives but do keep up the good work

Tony visited the last Thursday night, so trains were run to be polite.

I was a little heavy handed when I was taking it out of the mould......doh !

One the things which is always a problem for me is the length of the passing loops on the LGB.
Linz station is the main problem, so I came up with a cunning plan......

From this..........




To this............




Then of course I had to test it extensively, and the rest of the railway....
