Thanks Greg, that’s a pretty photo of a lovely railway. I spent a happy few days there in 1979 and I think it lasted with regular steam operation for a few more years after that. Steam heritage trains still run there in the summer about once every fortnight. The mainline junction is at Gmund. It is right on the Czech border and back in the 1970s a Czech 2-10-0 came across every day which provided another attraction when photography beyond the border was difficult.

Happy days and thanks for sharing.

Best wishes,

James
