Steam in the Harz German Meter Gauge

Germany’s Harz Mountains are home to the largest steam powered meter gauge system in Europe. Chunky 2-10-2 tank engines are the mainstay of the three line system (Harzquerbahn, Brockenbahn and Selketalbahn) and power trains up the 3% 12 mile climb up to the Brocken. 0-4-4-0 Mallet tanks and an 0-6-0 tank are used in regular service and enthusiasts specials. A 2-6-2 tank is also available for enthusiasts specials. You’ll see double headers, spectacular side by side departures and a variety of regular and special trains. And you’ll hear some awesome stack talk!
