brigo Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Met Office site shows a string of thunderstorms across southern Germany. Quite a bit of activity probably around Landshut, so it is a few miles away. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observation/map/#?map=Lightning&zoom=7&lon=12.06&lat=48.34&fcTime=1430122500 Brian G.

Mike at C&M Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtimeThis is my preferred point of reference for seeing where the storms are. Covers UK, Europe, USA and Australia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie_pudd Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Not seen this one in Plattling before but very simply striking white/green decaling looks smart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamafish Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 That will be 1216 960. https://www.flickr.com/photos/36529411@N00/8229324565/ I've seen it on the cam many times, but never parked up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOxon Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Plenty of activity in the yard this morning. Car train passing through and not all in white covers! Newly arrived freight to be shunted and oil tanks seem to be moving out. What are the yellow strips that have appeared across the tracks - do they mark walk-ways. I'm quite surprised by how much walking about takes place - the drivers of the shunter walked across for a chat with the driver of the newly-arrived freight but not following the yellow track.

yorkie_pudd Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Cheers Llama nice link there on 1216 960 and noted in the archive it brought in the load sat in the platform between 4am-4:115am. so who knows loco / wagon problems or drivers hours up - whatever reason it gives something un-expected in the viewing department again for Plattling watchers. Hi Mike, yes the new yellow strip is a new walk-way put in couple of weeks ago, I entertaining seeing the guys sort & fix the pieces in place. a mystery why one part is set back and not full pathway across and I wondered if they had a anti-slip surface for rain/ snow etc. Also interesting that what looked like level ground before now with aid of the walkway shows drop down between the 4th - 5th tracks from the platform. I did wonder when they were laying as to what there made of, as even the big pieces between track were moved about by a single person. guessing full ABS plastic or ABS covered plyboard or similar design etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamafish Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 What's the link for the archive? This is something i've not made not use of. (although I'm not sure I want to know what I've missed! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie_pudd Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) What's the link for the archive? This is something i've not made not use of. (although I'm not sure I want to know what I've missed! ) Direct link is - http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&s=l alternatively for plattling or the other cams follow below. it`s quite handy if you just missed or want to check something as cam takes a snapshot approx. every 15 mins. click Startseite at the top right of the page.. you will then see all the 5 cams available and under each cam pic in yellow is archive / live click which required. click archiv and it will show latest picture and time stamps of all others take that day so far, click any time for that picture example 11:30 There is also the white date time boxes so you can look up days/months previously etc. Take note the last cam Brotjacklriegl - Aussichtsturm is a cam in Austria with a pan/tilt/zoom you can move about around the area, there are some ski slopes and mostly forrest area. it DOES require on first use a small plug-in app so you can use it, or it wont load picture screen. I know you`ll probably curse me for all the time spent of days gone by - good job I`ve got broad shoulders lol otherwise enjoy edit: forgot to add link doh ha ha Edited May 21, 2015 by yorkie_pudd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOxon Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 ....a mystery why one part is set back and not full pathway across ..... I expect they had to avoid the moving point blades - I can't imagine people making the detour while walking across Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at C&M Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 11 p.m. and 33 degrees, according to the camera temperature. Time to sit back and watch the approaching thunderstorm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gwinnett Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It's certainly very warm in Central Europe right now, my friend is from Poland and her mum was complaining as, in direct sunshine, it's 49 degrees! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lewis Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 A rather curios vehicle has arrived i the siding between platforms 2 and 3 at Plattling. Presumably it is some sort of engineer's vehicle? It is in the Archive photos from 06.30 this morning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeOxon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Internal webcam temp = 45°C and track rippling in the heat haze! Doubt it slows them down, though, like when it gets to 30°C in UK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiles Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Nice but rather grubby EVB (I think - any one confirm?) class 223 Hercules diesel stabled at the end of one of Plattling's platforms currently. Wasn't aware they came that far south. Good excuse for Fleischmann's lovely N gauge on my layout now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorcycle Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) The new Doppler Vectron went through Plattling today! https://www.flickr.com/photos/manuel_schmid/20728604842/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/129076364@N05/20117060043/ It delivered the tankers to the sidings. You can see it on the archive Plattling images http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201508201530 and then set off with them http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201508201730 http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201508201745 Normally the archive imager misses all the good stuff, but today it was lucky. And now I know what time it is due to arrive/leave. Is this the retrack / transpetrol service from Koln to Hungary? I think it is, I found a pdf promotion somewhere and here is a useful image for the route etc There are lots of images on Flickr with other Vectrons pulling the same train https://www.flickr.com/photos/eisenbahner69/15317918927/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/vinnyers-2/16370562050 https://www.flickr.com/photos/betuweroute100/15139493203/ I should take a trip to Koln to see it!

John Lewis Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 At present there are three (possibly four) eastbound freight trains in the loops at Plattling. They have been there for at least an hour, although other freight trains have passed through the station. John 17.58 2 Aug 2015. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorcycle Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) There have been 2 Lokomotion 139's on a roll-on roll-off train at Plattling recently. You can see archived images here http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201509050715 http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201509070715 http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showarchivimage&o=pla&id=201509010715 A thread on dreischeiebe has clearer photos from Regensburg http://www.drehscheibe-online.de/foren/read.php?4,7538833 http://abload.de/img/139260-442567brtz.jpg Google translate seems to say the train comes from Neufahrn (near Munich) then reverses at Plattling and goes toward Regensburg. It goes on this route until the 15th of September. It is seen in Plattling about 06:15 or 07:30 (UK time!).
