RMweb Gold DaveF Posted January 2, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi Dave Do I ascertain two visits to Zell am See on different days in Sept 89? J10149 weather dull, no wagon in RH mixed gauge siding. J10235 weather bright, wagon in RH mixed gauge siding. Is that correct? Keith Mum and Dad stayed in Zell am See for about a week as a part of a holiday they had in Austria in 1989. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted January 4, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Didn't know there is a mixed gauge track in this station! Could have used such a feature in my layout under construction as it is a space saver! And Tillig would have made some money... Thanks for the picture - First time I see it on a prototype track in Austria! Edited January 4, 2017 by Vecchio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted January 4, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4, 2017 Guess what - I still have lots of photos taken at Zell am See, so here are a few more. As you will have realised by now Dad spent as much of his holiday as he could taking railway photos. It's as well Mum likes railways.

Allegheny1600 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi David, You might tell, I'm really enjoying your (dads) Austrian photos! Funnily enough, at the time these photos were being taken, I was busy modelling the Austrian scene and having great fun doing so. I'm yet to build anything to replicate the fun of those days, so it's all very nostalgic for me. Cheers and thanks again for uploading. John. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm also very much enjoying the Zell am Zee pics. 1989 was the year I first became interested in Austrian Ralways inspired by Ian Futers OBB layouts and an article in 'Rail' magazine. Zell am Zee is a great location with trains running through the middle of the town and along the lakeside, offering many photo opportunities. Here are a couple more from 1995. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted January 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2017 The 1063 which you have on one of your photos is a massive shunter with a top speed of 100km/h (62mph) - mainly used in Schwechat and Villach were the 2 central goods shunting stations of Austria are situated. With the top speed of 62mph and a weight of approximately 80 tons it can of course be used to haul light trains. What is sad is that the last time I saw the shunting station in Schwechat (last December) it was almost empty. Flying into Vienna at winds from eastern direction you can see the massive shunting station direct below the plane. And for everybody who is interested in models: Jaegerndorfer has a nice model of the 1063 in different versions. Of course I have it and I added a servo for the pantograph and Krois magnetic couplers (built in Schwechat by the way) on both ends to make it really a shunter... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcanman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Great pics of Salzburg. I visited in 1989 also, but sadly didn't manage to get any pics. However, Here is a pic of 1063 017 at Bischofshofen in 1995, which looks like it's working a local passenger service, but it's actually shunting empty coaching stock. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think there may be some confusion here. The 1063 class (and the later re-styled 1163) are BoBo locomotives (50 and 20 built, respectively) with a top speed of 100 km/h. They are found throughout the ÖBB system (the first of the 1063 series are dual voltage), being designed for shunting and local trip working. The larger CoCo 1064 class (10 built) are limited to 80 km/h and were built for heavy shunting at Villach and Wien/Kledering. While I have numerous sightings/photographs of the 1063 and 1163, I have yet to get a decent sighting and photograph of a 1064. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted January 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2017 Really? That's quick then, as Google shows images from earlier in 2016 (late August) with quite a number of tanker cars for the local petrol-chemical industry and more on storage tracks at nearby Kaiserebersdorf. But no 1063. Btw, there's a NG works railway/tramway opposite Schwechat station which has a disproportionate number of SG/NG crossings! Looked into google maps - from a distance the station looks saturated. If you go closer you will see that some of the trucks are not photos but look like fake. I cannot show it as there is copyright on google - but I have the impression only 8 trains in the station are real, all the rest is done with a (bad) software. And there is a 1063 at the southern end (next to a couple of larger locos) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, so what I saw on google maps must be a 1064 - but from birds view it is difficult to count axles.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Passenger workings with 1063s are rare, but in the 1980s, before the multi-voltage 'Taurus' locomotives, and at a time when the Iron Curtain was still down, the local service between Hohenau (Austria) and Breclav (Czechoslovakia) was run with 1063s which were dual-voltage. This picture shows one backing down on to a train at Hohenau, after the 1042 which had worked the train from Wien Nord had been removed. The train was taken to Bernhardsthal, the last station in Austria before the Iron Curtain. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Vecchio Posted January 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 5, 2017 *there are 2 more actually: here and here, very, very dirty indeed! These 2 links go to the Zentralverschiebebahnhof. And this is the place I mean. If you go further in where you have approximately 40 shunting tracks in parallel. Why some of the trucks are quite visible why others are like a blob of paint. In my opinion this is not really from the photo but looks like "improved" to me.

They look like AAR (known in Britain as Buckeyes) but might be Willisons- It's relevant to an article I'm writing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 J10241 - I like the transporter wagons. Must be quite a job calculating if the outsize load is going to fit on the narrow-guage railway. I saw some similar wagons stacked up out of use last year at Innertkirchen, Switzerland.

Must be quite a job calculating if the outsize load is going to fit on the narrow-guage railway. I saw some similar wagons stacked up out of use last year at Innertkirchen, Switzerland. I suppose they will check it with a loading gauge - for me the interesting thing is that the center of gravity of those loaded trucks must be quite high - especially when they on the narrow gauge trolleys.
