Thank you so much for your visit to Harz railway again. This is certainly a great place to see steam locomotives working hard. From here it is a steep climb up to Brocken mountain, and these big tank engines are great for the job.
A terrific shot Peter and taken from a good vantage point that makes it look as if you are standing dangerously close tot he tracks. It gives it a real wow factor.
I am very happy that you have enjoyed this big German locomotive making its way up the mountain. In reality I was around 3 metres away from the track, so well out of harms way, but nice that you are thinking about it!!
Ah the Harz railways again. I have also stood by the big ten wheelers here. A fine capture with this very black smoke as it climbs up this hill. Well done.
Thank you so much. Glad you like it!
Yes, two weeks in Germany! As always, steam trains will be somewhere!
I'll have a browse through your gallery to look for your Harz pictures now!

Your visit is much appreciated - Thank you
I am so pleased that you like the exhaust. It is a long hard climb up to Brocken mountain, so the locomotive has a lot of work to do.
Best Wishes, and a good week ahead.
Peter
