Amazing.

Wow. Sure nice to steam in such a clean state and very well maintained

what is the loco at the end i think i had LGB model of this didnt know it was East German since it got the model in the late 80's

Fun fast for railway nutters: Why do all German non-standard gauge steamlocos have that class 99xxx shield despite their different looks, size, number of driving-wheels and so on and so forth? Easy answer: All the other numbers from 01xxx to 98xxx had been used for a huge bandwdith of locos. There were no other numbers left. It started in the 1920s when all pre- 1918 German state railways became one, the "Deutsche Reichsbahn". An entire set of new "unified" classes of steamlocos appeared on the drawing boards. That means that the blueprints from the Reichsbahn technical board were the basis for the various factories that built them: Krupp, Henschel, Kraus-Maffei, Schwartzkopff, Borsig.....And then all the locos that had been built for the Prussian, Bavarian, Saxonian... railways had to be incorporated to that numbering scheme so that it would be clear for which purposes they could be used: fast express pacifics with three driven axis of large diameter, versatile locos that could be used for slower trains but would even pull fright, and so on, and so on. Without computers and nothing but a desk full of blueprints, technical data of that great variety of locos all that comparisons were a hell of a job. And when it was done, all numbers from 01 to the 90s were being used. The "last" possible number, 98, was for the little Bavarian "glass cabin", a small engine with a self-feeding system that could replace the fireman and a driver's cab that ran almost up to the smoke box in the front.

Ist der Ton original?

Wow!!! This is "Mecklenburg-Pommersche Schmalspurbahn (MPSB)" Very valuable footage. A rarity! There are very few films from this railroad company. Please change the title of the film with the name of the correct railway company. Then the film is easier to find on youtube.

don't you mean one foot 11inches?
