One more French diesel - this time a VERY small one! Y7491 4-wheel shunter "Tracteur" also at Thionville depot.
Yep, this was my first modeltrain, from a starters set by the Italian firm Lima. But mine was red. I believe that the model is still running, at the layout of my brother-in-law.

Not the best picture, but I had to take it from a riding (steam) train. This is an former US army tank car, used in WW II and after the war used by Esso. Picture taken in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands:
The most common MU in the Netherlands is this one, called Plan V or Mat 64. Built in the 1960s by the firm Werkspoor in the Netherlands and the firm Talbot in Aachen, Germany (nowadays a part of Bombardier), these trains are mainly used as commuter trains. The green livery is an older paint scheme. Today these trains are yellow. Within a few years they will be replaced by standard designs from Bombardier Germany.
Last time I visited Thuringia. I've placed a few pictures with text in my album. Here's the station of "Greiz". We're looking at the "Schlossberg-Tunnel". The passenger train belonges to the "Vogtlandbahn", a private railroad. Wolfgang
Alan, go to a map, e.G. map24, and type in "Ort":"Greiz" . You will get the town map with river "Elster". If you follow the valley line of the railroad south you will come to the "Elstertalbrücke". Follow the other railway east and you will come to the "Göltschtalbrücke". Wolfgang
An English Electric 1800 class stands in the station. The dog is sleeping in the hot sun, instead of being in the shade!
I had forgotten about this thread. I wish I could add more. Not being in Europe kind of limits my offerings.
