Indomitable026 Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Bertsdorf - right over in the eastern corner of Germany from Zittau to Oybin and Jonsdorf with the junction at Bertsdorf. Very nice little line with a good mixture of scenery and a very comfortable barwagen. Not sure if it still happens but Bertsdorf was well known for parallel departures on the two routes to the termini https://www.steam-route-saxony.com/en/upper-lusatia/19/Zittauer_Schmalspurbahn__SOEG_mbH_railway_company.html DSCF0143.jpg Edit to correct typo That could be next years holiday sorted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TrevorP1 Posted December 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2016 That could be next years holiday sorted. Managed to take in the Harz and a very quick stop at Fichtelbergbahn during a driving holiday about 4 years ago. We also stayed in Colditz Castle which I can thoroughly recommend. There is some fantastic scenic empty countryside in the former East Germany and we found the local people friendly and helpful. Go for it, you'll have no regrets!

RMweb Premium TrevorP1 Posted December 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hope a few more tempting photos are OK... Drie Annen Hohne, the start of the climb to Brocken. The view from the top. Somewhere in the (very far) distance is Russia. Colditz Castle Serious stuff... Colditz has a brewery! The Fichtelbergbahn near the Czech border. No more temptations for a while, dinner's ready! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indomitable026 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Right, Having lost a good three days due to 'man flu' I'm going to have a go at doing a bit today. I still don't feel brilliant so may not get far. First job is to cut down the track bed width in the goods yard. I've marked out with a blue pen the cut lines. I've temporarily screwed down the track bed nearest the camera so not to loose its position. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Now cut and offered back into position. This was required to allow the embankment to drop from the edge of the track bed down the front of the layout 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indomitable026 Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 And that's it, job stopped. Not feeling so good again, how frustrating. Back to looking at pictures of the Harz system... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 2, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Similar but no, I think they are the type used on the Harz lines (like I know what I'm talking about) .Yep the Tillig ones are Harz metre gauge locos, I think Bemo do the right one for the Fichtelberg on 9mm track to represent the 750mm gauge prototypes.

tim@dy Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Query: I read earlier that Slaters at Warley had engineering samples of their forthcoming L&B coaches. Did anyone mange to glimpse or photograph said items? The 7mm NGA had the Slaters L&B brake coach,the injection plastic kit,on their stand through out Sunday.The vehicle was 80% finished,but what was there was outstanding.David White told me that the vehicle will be able to run on 14mm or 16.5mm track and should be available early 2017 and cost around the £60 mark.Plenty of people photographed the coach but I didn't.

That looks like a Brake Third, L&B Nos 15 & 16 As I understand it, and I'm operating on third/forth hand information on this, they are producing three types as follows (marked up on a summary table from 'Measured & drawn'); I'm not sure if there is a plan to produce the other types or if we'll have to indulge in a bit of classic 'cut & shut'.
