Preserved Steam

[Roger B]

My wife and I visited the local preserved railway yesterday. They have steam and electric locos and rolling stock from the local area. There was also an old Post Bus in attendance. Note the steering wheel is on the right so that the driver could see the edge on the pass roads.

looks like a great place. I thought this would be something along the lines of the navy prank of giving the new boot a pail with a lid, then sending him down into engineering for a bucket of steam..

  Thanks for sharing the pics! The rolling stock and the bus look like they are in top notch condition. You had nice weather for the visit, too.

Wow!  Looks like a lot of fun!   

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Nice pictures Roger 👍
A ride on the steam train is always a wonderful experience. (Was there still beer in the white train carriage?)

Thanks for showing the pictures of this attractive venue.  The 0 6 0 locomotive would make a very nice prototype for a 5" gauge working steam model!  Dave

Hello Dave,
The 060 locomotive (or as we call it a C-coupler) is most likely a Prussian T 3.
A locomotive built in large numbers. Since it was built over a long period of time, it was available with and without a tender and Allan and Heusinger controls.
As far as I know there are blueprints in 5 inches.

Greetings Michael

The 0-6-0 was built in 1913 by SLM Winterthur as Swiss type E 3/3. I think this style of locomotive was commonly used on branch lines and as a shunter.

Hmm...adding Zurich to my next European trip, methinks!  Thanks for the pictures, Roger!
