    A fantastic picture of a lovely green 475.1142 John!:Happy: Thank you so much for posting it! This engine is an interesting one equipped with roller bearings of both coupled- and connecting rods as you can see. Was it under steam back then do you remember?

    BTW her is a bit longer study of the 475.101:)


    kind regards,

    Knut

    Ahaha that makes sense. Interesting old roundhouse at Chomotov. They only used to open it rarely, but it seems from the website that access is better these days. Chomotov and Luzna are directly connected by rail.

    No shipping option to the UK for T shirts! I wrote to them two weeks ago and asked if they would ship here (at extra cost), but no-one replied :(

    This will cheer up @60017...

    https://albatros498022.cz/

    Steam Story Agency have taken on the blue Albatros 498.022 on a 30 year repair and run deal. They hope to have it overhauled within 5 years.
