West German Narrow Gauge.

[45669]

Evening All,

A friend of mine has recently opened a new Flickr site and recent additions include some narrow gauge lines in West Germany in 1965 and 1967. I was with him on both occasions, but my slides are still in the scanning queue.

Here's the link :

Hope that they are of interest - I'm sure that they will be.

Thanks for posting the link to these images. Those of loco 99 193 and the converter bogies carrying a standard gauge hopper wagon were particularly interesting.

Is there any narrow gauge left in the former West Germany in 2012?

well, Augsburg still has narrow gauge trams but I can't think of any railways

Evening All,

My friend has now added some pictures of the MEG metre gauge to his Flickr site. Here's the link if you would like to have a look :

I'm sure that you will find them of interest.

Afternoon All,


John has added some more West German Narrow Gauge colour pictures from 1967 to his fast growing Flickr collection. They cover the Sylter Inselbahn, Heilbronn-Süd and a Narrow Gauge Scrapyard. There are also some black and white pictures of the line between Nagold and Altensteig.


They can all be found here :

I'm sure that they will be of interest.
