  1. In case you didn't know, a handy tip is to change the '1 b/s' at the bottom of the cam to 2 b/s, this will give a smoother performance. Freight usually runs at any time, but I know all of the 294s and 363s will return to the Plattling area around lunchtime for the drivers to have a break. My mate tells me there's a DB traxx due around 14:10 GMT, heading away from the camera with a train of 'randoms' (mix of stuff). He also says that there are 2 intermodals due between 14:00 and 14:30 GMT, with a Dispolok Taurus towards Austria, and DB traxx away from the camera, but don't seem to run on Fridays. He tells me that the Oberhausen to Plattling arrives around 11:30 GMT, usually chemicals or bolsters so I am told. On thursdays he tells me there's a booked DB Light engine move that heads away from the camera, and into a siding at the far end of the station, around 11:50 GMT. There's a working due at 15:15 GMT that is a rake of OBB Transwaggons/Cargowaggons, with the occasional appearance of Nordwaggons, heading towards the camera (Towards Austria). This quite often turns out an ex Rail Cargo Hungary Taurus (they were on lease from OBB), although 1116 007 seems to produce quite frequently as well. There is a Vienna-Hamburg sleeper that is due at 22:48 GMT, goes non stop through the station, although usually seems to be around 22:41 at the moment, typical traction is usually an OBB Taurus, with a mix of Austrian and Hungarian sleeping coaches, as well as a German seating coach and 1 or 2 Autozugs (Either German or Austrian) On weekends, there is a cartic train about 14:00-14:30 GMT, usually DB traction. There is also an additional sleeper introduced recently that seems to be weekends only, follows not long after the aforementioned 22:48 OBB one. There are many more workings I do know about but I can't remember specific details off hand. Incidentally, where can I find the current.jpg files? I've had a look in my temporary internet files and I can't find any with that name?
  2. I've been watching this cam virtually every day since 17th February 2010, there's always interesting moves to be seen. I caught it just at the end of the transition from 111s/143s to 440s, and they are now much missed. European Intermodals are much longer than their British counterparts, and usually see the most variety of private locos. I'm getting to know when certain trains are due, and what their typical traction is, but knowing Plattling, it changes very regularly and I struggle to keep up! The freight is very regular however, with trains through the night.
