Linz Gstadt Bahn

Thanks Brian. I recall commenting to Paul that no amount of photos of a layout can ever compensate for not seeing it with one's own eyes - which strangely enough was more or less exactly what Carl said to me when he came to visit a couple of weeks ago!

By the way, I should also mention (in case I have not already done so) that during this visit we also enjoyed the company of Alec (new-ish! member on here) and also Bruce and Mrs Bruce, whom we haven't seen for a couple of years when they paid us a visit.

Thanks for posting all the pictures Clive. Some great shots from new angles.
It was a pleasure to meet you and your family.

The pics of the steam loco are much appreciated - not easy to photograph if you are controlling the loco too unless it is stationary.

Some nice shots there Clive, steamie running again tonight Paul????

To quote Jim Carey in the Mask ........."Somebody stop me"

The good news is my wife likes the look of the steamie and wants you to bring Duncan round sometime for a demo!!!,

Let me know when its convenient to come round Alec.

(I must put the grub screw in that secures the back of the cab )

Frank S was on duty last night as dusk set in.........

A few minutes later after climbing the mountain line to Gstadt station

Duncan got a run out this afternoon.........

Four coaches are no problem on the mountain line.

He ran out of gas at the bottom of the fifth time up......

Looks like you've got the cab screwed on now Paul

Yes Brian - I can see why the guy who built it missed it out - the coupling hook is right in front of it

I've now had the chance to go through my pics of our visit to Paul's

I've only just seen these - thanks, they're a really good selection!

I've altered one of the sidings at Linz today

It loops around the back of the station now

Night follows day......
