We visit standard gauge steam in the former East Germany for a winter-time Plandampf (steam plan).. This is a special time when steam is placed on regularly scheduled freight and passenger trains for several days in a row! Many picturesque scenes include: interesting towns, viaducts, signals, and stations. Rare tank engines are seen including Class 94 (0-10-0T), Class 95 (2-10-2T), and Class 65 (2-8-4T) plus there are cameo appearances by other engines including a pair of Pacifics (4-6-2’s), and a 2-10-0.

You’ll see why tank engines were so useful, when they arrive at a small stub-end station in the hilly-country, then simply run around the train and depart. There are some very “European” scenes with interesting locations where the train crosses a classic stone viaduct over a valley, and we see locations where the semaphore signal drops as a Class 65 departs. This 1994 winter show features some snow scenes and of course cold weather smoke effects.

    This visit to the former East Germany features primarily tank locomotives in both freight and passenger service, but also includes cameo appearances by mainline steam and diesels during on of the many Plandampfs that have occurred since the fall of the Soviet Union.
