I love the trackwork on that 2' line. Seems the German inspectors are a lot easier going than the Brits. Our inspectors would close it down instantly, thus depriving a lot of people their fun.

Great videos, Fred.

Thanks for the links.

You can almost smell the mixture of steam, diesel fuel oil, and German pine forests....

Very nice.

For Skarloay Railway -  the gauge is 750mm or 29 and a half inches, not two foot. What a real 30 inch (almost)  gauge line looks like!

The mainline is 750mm gauge

Döllnitzbahn Oschatz to Glossen, about 16km, 750mm gauge. Diesel hauled during the week, steam hauled at weekends and holidays.

But the industrial line is 600mm gauge.
