Linz Gstadt Bahn

Stainz numbers 2 and 14 on shed at Linz.

A magnesium train is ready to leave Gstadt to descend the mountain line

It arrives at Linz a short while later after traversing the reversing loop at Wieselburg.

Nice pics Paul - I must say that Regner Stainz is getting some use on your line! Looks very much at home there though.

You can go off snow can't you ?

......it took half an hour to scrape off the ice just to run this short distance..........

Geez, Paul. You spent all that money on your steamie and it won't melt ice itself? What's the point?

BTW I'm wondering how much time was spent clearing the walkways for the missus?

A balmy 11 degF in Waco Texas where I am at the moment, but fortunately, no ice.

I haven't run the steamie today Bill.

There's an hours daylight left, enough time for a couple of runs.

Hi Paul

Congrats!

Great to see your pic of the LS Stainz adorning our CGT landing page!

I'm also looking for subject material or ideas for feature articles.

Just a couple of paragraphs and a pic or two.

We've done Corpets and railcars quite a lot and Stainzes too.
(although you can never have enough.... )

BTW it's a balmy 2° here in the SUN

A pleasant surprise Brian.
Our temp "shot" up to 7 degrees today, most of our snow has gone, but the circuit I cleared last weekend still has 50mm of snow on it that fell two nights ago.

Snow from last weekend, here is U43..........

Just another reminder of what snow looks like............

We have more snow here in North Wales

One of the local businesses in Linz likes Citreon HY vans so much, he bought one to run about Austria.........

Its the best excuse I can think of for having one on my line.

Ahem............anyway, in spite of more snow yesterday (and right now as I type). Live steamie had another run yesterday afternoon.

A video clip......

Hoffentlich koennen die Linzer Franzoesich verstehen oder sie kennen nicht sein Produkt.

Ich habe auch gern die Citroen HY.

Vielleicht kannst du es in einen Wohnmobile aendern:

Quel fabricant ?
SOLIDO ?
merci .
What manufacturer?
SOLIDO?
Thank you.

Solido is the manufacturer.

The local patisserie will be using the van.

Solido est le fabricant.
Patisserie local utilisera le fourgon.
HELP!!!!!!:

Origin of the decoration:
SOLIDO or personnelle?

Is your local patisserie selling soap? Otherwise, a quick paint job might be in order.

I still think you should convert it into a camping car.

The van's new owner bought it cheap because Palmolive ordered too many.......

Be a shame to paint it.
The van is also available in bright orange with the "Orangina" logo on it.

Ah - those frugal Austrians....

I just realized I learned something I had never noticed before- Palmolive = Palm + Olive, the two oils used to make the soap. Funny, it took seeing it in French to realize it.

I like your Palmolive van - the colors and logo suit it better than the Orangina version. I also like the Pompiers version I've seen on the net.

A short video clip of today's running at the Linz Gstadt Bahn..........

Nice video, Paul.

The sun came out to play this afternoon.......
