Hi Andy,

Thank you so much for your visit here. As you will have seen from the picture, it was already snowing, and would remain so all day!!

Hi Peter, the locomotive is a Saxon IV K. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_IV_K This is not a Mallet machine but Meyer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyer_locomotive In Chemnitz one finds also a regular track machine of this type.

The IV K machines were all built in Chemnitz in the Saxon machine factory, formerly Richard Hartmann.

PS: The name in the title is "Schmal grube" :-)

Hi Frank

Thank you for your visit, and the extra information. It is very much appreciated. Let me also say a big 'thank you' for posting your pictures of this railway on ipernity. I studied them all before coming here, and learned a lot from them!

Another excellent shot with snow and steam train. Always a beautiful combination.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you for your enthusiastic visit here!

We came to see steam locomotives in the snow, and we found them, quite a few of them!
A very rare sight in England (eg www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/44029646 ), but here we visited four steam railways, and around 10 different locomotives.
A great time had!

Best Wishes
Peter

Now the "Z" in the title is missing. ;-D Schmalzgrube! ;-D
