RMweb Gold DaveF Posted October 8, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 8, 2017 A visit to the Achenseebahn in Austria for today. It starts at Jenbach and climbs with the aid of a rack to the Achensee ending at Seespitz Schiffstation.

Alcanman Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Great pics Dave. Here are a couple of pics from my visit, also in Sept 1989. Taken, of course, from the bridge that gave a great view of the loco depot. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Looks like those trams are single ended as there was a loop at each end of the route. I also noticed no wipers at one end! Nice photos as always Cheers Keith Edit They now use Flexity trams and the route does not seem to have a loop at the city end Edited October 11, 2017 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 ÖBB 1063 and 4020 are available from Jägerndorfer, while the 1145 was available from Roco at the time. All in H0 scale. The 1145 is the one class within the family that Roco have not produced, they have done the similar 1045 and 1245. Other manufacturers, such as Liliput and Rivarossi have done versions of the 1245s. Similarly, Roco have made the other two classes within that sequence - the 1110s and 2043s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted October 12, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2017 Munich has several types of single-ended trams, but they have a small control desk hidden behind a locked panel at the rear so the driver can drive from that end when needed. I saw it happen once when a broken down tram meant our tram had to reverse over a crossover and then overtake the broken down tram on the other line.

Nice photos as always Cheers Keith Edit They now use Flexity trams and the route does not seem to have a loop at the city end The trams look like Duewag GT8Z and yes, they were built as "Einrichtungs - Gelenktriebwagen" so for single direction traffic. I have seen the new ones in service a few years (2012) ago, but do not remember if they are single direction or not. Google maps shows the return loop after the Igls station.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted October 12, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2017 Those BB25xxx locos absolutely shriek "France" from a time when SNCF's fleet had a unique Gallic charm. Today French motive power looks just like everyone else's! Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecchio I believe the 6 route from Igls to Innsbruck originally ran around the city centre loop but the current map shows it terminating at Bergisel to connect with route 1 to/from the city centre. Both routes 1 & 3 have loops each end but the Igls route now seems to terminate at a straight line in Klostergasse in route 1's return loop: https://goo.gl/maps/QYWKsHvjHKK2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Innsbruck#/media/File:Netzplan_Stra%C3%9Fenbahn_Innsbruck_09-2007.png Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) C11411 - interestingly shaped capital I on Isolatoren, looking for all the world like a J to an English speaker. Compare this sample of German handwriting: https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Ausgangsschrift_der_DDR_1958.png and other Sütterlin-type handwriting samples. Looking at the very similar DIN 1451 narrow font, I wonder if the signmaker used a J by mistake, based on their own handwriting? Edit: correct spelling with an "I" photographed here: https://gnadlib.wordpress.com/2017/08/03/warnung/ and another "J" spelling for sale here: http://www.email-schild.ch/verkauf_email.php?seite=8 ("email" being German for "enamel") Edited October 13, 2017 by eastwestdivide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
