Winter Steam In The Harz 

From start to finish - great shots.

Beautifully captured video full of atmosphere

Thank you for this video, which is now expected every year after your visit to the Harz region. As always, great quality and a choice of remarkable locations. Professional work. Thanks Austin for this very long and good time. Philippe.

Thank you for this wonderful video. So full of classic steam atmosphere!

Beautiful part of Germany This Tourist line Goes through,Beautiful Steam Engines Also, Would love to see this the next time I am on a Break,Thank you

Thank you very much !

Always look forward to your annual video of the Harz and this one is a classic. Nice one. Cheers, Dave

I always love and look forward to your visits to The Hartz system Austin and this one certainly doesn't disappoint! The drivers don't spare their 99/7 locos and you captured a fair number of them this time around. It was interesting to see the railcar and I just loved the little vintage Mallets going at it still albeit with a lighter load and the double header was a delightful treat to the eyes of a confirmed steam man! The p-way looked in excellent condition on this very well run system. Noticed you had company at 5.20 and the snow was in substantially less quantity this year, except at the very highest levels. You must have had a great time shooting this video and your enthusiasm transfers very well to the video. An excellent job Austin, well done! Ken

Looks like you and Pam had another wonderful trip Austin. I can feel the cold from here though. I can't seem to remember a double header in previous videos and you don't often seem them lose their feet either. Good to see that some were well filled. Many thanks for sharing. Chris

Hi Adrian. I was riding the HSB on the days you were filming, including the double headed Mallets. You have given me a fabulous record of that visit with your wonderful coverage. Thank you. Peter from Melbourne

Absolutely cracking video Austin...loved it. Always have looked forward to Your Harz Mountain videos. So many great clips...the one i liked very much was the Snowscene at 22:30....Hope You didn't freeze too much in the Blizzard scenes....Hope to see You and Pam at the end of April...You know where !! Best wishes....Steve.-:)

Cracking video Austin, lots of action and very enjoyable, looks like you had a very enjoyable trip. Many thanks for sharing. Cheers, Alan

Another look - and it gets better! Snow and a different loco.

Thanks for sharing. Excellent as always

Superb compilation of shots and locations Austin it looks so impressive the area the line runs in. The shots with the snow fall make very atmospheric scenes. All the best........Phil.

Superb video Austin great locations ". When you go over there . You come back with outstanding shots. Thoroughly enjoyable watching Kind regards C&A

Hello Austin, first of all: WOW! Did they prepare special program to you and how they knew what you like? - Did the standard gauge freight car at narrow gauge trolleys had real freight to Brocken station? (11:05) + (15:37) - The two working hard Mallets haul a train to Brocken. (17:45) - Lots of steam esp. (26:00) at strange light and more than impressing increasing steam storm at (14:00). Again and again this strange magical light. Seems winter storm Thomas didn't affected you seriosly except permanent changing wheather. Again another great Brockenbahn video by you. Heinz

Belting video Austin , what stunning scenery that is perfect with snow . My favourites being 6-20 ( was that the shot you mentioned having to scamble to get at near the tunnel ) and the stunning shot at 12-36 but mind you the clag at 15-00 was superb .

It doesn't seem that long that you and Pam went out there last year Austin....Stunning work as always, complete with the obligatory snow....Bob

Great video as always Austin. looking forward to my next visit to the Harz but haven't plucked up the courage to go in the depths of winter yet! The standard gauge transporter wagon was a real bonus; one railway where I haven't seen one in use yet.

Doesn't that Mallet make a wonderful sound. I like that little railcar too. Lovely conditions around 22:20.

Sorry the weather was challenging but thanks for your tenacity which resulted in thoroughly enjoyable watching. A great transition from wet to white, with some superb exhaust visual effects. How close was that to a stall? The evening scene in the closing sequences would make a wonderful painting. Yet another tour de force which has further whetted our appetite for a trip to the Harz once we fully retire - may well be asking you a number of detailed questions when the time comes. Thanks again, Austin - Bob K.

Wonderful shots as always! Watching your footage captured between Steinerne Renne and Drei Annen I assume you done a walk on the path nearby the railway. I have done that a few years ago and it is really a good way to enjoy the landscape and the steam trains! Thanks for sharing and thumbs up!

Hi Austin , brilliant filming and locations .Dave

A good video of yours to watch after seeing your recent model railway video!

geile Aufnahmen! 👍

I ABSOUTLY LOBE UR VIDEOS THERE FANTASTIC!!!!!! youes kindly lewis :)😅

Wonderful, Austin. What was the first station stop in the video? Only watched 5 mins. this time but I'll be back for more . . .

Austin another super video, how does the camera cope with these freezing temperatures do you need to take some precautions ?

Excellent footage, beautiful landscape! And I am absolutely smitten with that mallets! I would very much like to know if there is an HO model available in DC. Roco? Fleischmann? Liliput?

Very nice indeed, as always. Question though, do you need to ask permission in advance for access to the sheds? I'm looking into going and have asked them, but haven't had any reply.

Great Stuff. del.

OMG UR AWSOME

At last, someone who knows how to expose for a black locomotive.
