Linz Gstadt Bahn

I like my steam outline locos to smoke whenever they are in service......okay, so they aren't pulsed smoke
units that belch out as much smoke as a KM1 model, but the 24 volt units I have fitted to most of my locos give out a satisfactory amount.
Some of the loco's smoke units are permanently wired to track power, so if they are on the track they smoke.
If, for some reason, I don't want a loco to smoke, I just fill the smoke unit to the top, job done......then if I want it to smoke, either run it for an hour, by which time the heat has evaporated some off, or syphon a little off the top with the syringe (I used to use for my steamie Regner Stainz).

I like all my steam loks to smoke when in service.
Most have a 24 volt unit permanently wired to the track.
They are not quite as good as a KM1 model which belches copious amounts of pulsed smoke, but they satisfy my requirements.
Yesterdays roster out at Wieselberg...........

Well Paul a double post but we can never get enough of them. Good to see them steaming in the winter, I take all my buildings in during the winter as they are very exposed to the wind even if i screw them down bits blow off them. Role on the spring.

Oops......

Even more cracking pic's, this forum just gets better and better,
especially when you are just sitting staring out the window waiting
for the sleet and driving rain to go away.
 
Even thought 90% of my track is under cover, the noise on the roof
(fibreglass) was nearly deafening, it's driven me back to the house
 
Thanks to all you fantastically talanted folks out there,
for giving us mear mortals inspiration and dreams

I will expect more pictures indeed Paul when you get to summer, 

As part of the ongoing austerity measures at the Linz Gstadt Bahn, the red and cream steeple cab is off
to the G Scale meeting at Altrincham tomorrow for sale along with a new black Stainz.
The management of the L.G.B. are determined to retain the services of at least 20 locos though.........

Shame, I really love the colour scheme of that steeple cab mate.
 
Hey ho, 20's not so bad.

You're selling a Stainz?  Say it ain't so Stainzmeister.  That's just not right! 

Lovely stuff.... I really enjoy your photography, weathering and smoke!! Austerity measures.... mind you 20 locos should be survivable.

I feel for you with the need for austerity measures Paul, but as long as there are some trains to run and photograph there will be some relief. 

Thanks for your kind comments. My first sight of G Scale were of Charles Small's layout in August 1973 in Railway Modeller of Stainz and U Class locos, so if I can keep a reasonable collection of those two loco types, "That'll do for me"
(Along with a 2095 and a 2091 and 2092 and............. )

Ah, Charles Small.  A man who influenced a generation.  Well, two of us at least.....
