Hello,

The first action was on the normal tracks in mountains of Thüringen in the middle of Germany. Some special-trains for railway-fans came from north, south, east and west. The locomotives class 41 (2 - 8 – 2), 50 (2 – 10 – 0), 58 (2 – 10 – 0, with 3 cylinders) and 94 (0 – 10 -0) drove trains on rising-rich lines. Diesel-locomotive with number V200 017 (class V200 of the old Deutsche Bundesbahn) brought a special from Stuttgart to Thüringen. She changed to steam-locomotives 50 3501 (old number 50 380) and 58 311.
