    October 5th and 6th was the end of season steam gala at the 2' gauge Waldeisenbahn
    at Weisswasser in eastern Germany near Cottbus.

    In service over the weekend were-

    Borsig 0-8-0 99-3312
    Brigadelok 0-8-0 99-3317
    O &K 0-8-0+T 99-3462

    The O&K is a superb tender locomotive and is on loan from the German Muhlenstroth line.

    The line has two branches, one running 4kms to Kromlau, and the other 7kms to Bad Muskau
    on the Polish border.
    The area is very scenic with lakes and forest with plenty of good photo/video locations.

    The duties of the locos were swapped around, I was pleased the O&K was on the Bad Muskau service
    on the 5th, and Kromlau on the 6th.

    Brigadelok 99-3315 was newly arrived at the railway.
