My wife and I are spending a week or so in a village to the southwest of Carcassonne in France during September 2018. A little bit of research highlighted the existence of a network of metre-gauge tramways in the Aude. These tramways were only in operation for a few decades in the early part of 20th Century. Other matters will take priority during much of the time that we are in the department but I am interested in these lines and have pulled together a blog...

Sitting here browsing the forum, telly on in the background, I just happened to spot a clip of film in the docudrama "storming Juno" which shows allied troops on D Day advancing through a French village along a roadside tramway which seems to be 600mm gauge. I have seen this clip before, and have often wondered where it was, particularly as my dad was there on D day, and might have gone along this very road. Sadly he is no longer here to ask, so has anyone got any ideas on where it is and...

In our many trips to Nice and Les Alpes Maritimes, my wife and I have seen a significant amount of engineering works, bridges, viaducts and tunnels all on lines which were neither part of the PLM network of standard gauge railways, nor part of the general metre-gauge network. It turns out that there were a significant numbe of line operated by tow main tramway companies in Provence, Tramways de les Alpes Maritime (TAM) and tramways de Nice et du Littoral (TNL).

These tramways ran on...

Some news from the narrow gauge paradise Saxony.

The pressnitz valley railway started in the year 1990 from the southern terminus of the former Wolkenstein-Jöhstadt line. Unfortunately the charity was only able to use the steam shed in Jöhstadt, because the socialist government built a massive "Plattenbau" (Panel building) on the former site of the Station in 1989. The station building was also lucky to survive and is currently owned by the volunteers.

After having started extending the...

This year's edition of the now "legendary" Plandampf in and around the Werratal south of Eisenach in Germany is planned for 18-20 October. The decision date as to whether enough "subscribers" have contributed to enable the event to go ahead is August 20th.

I know that many people are interested in the HSB railway systems in the Harz Mountains and - as a visitor - I have compiled my images into a book that may interest either those who have been - or those wondering if a visit is worthwhile.

Hello alltogether,
The Döllnitzbahn GmbH, the official operator of the remaining Mügeln narrow gauge railway network and the supporting Förderverein Wilder Robert (Society for the promotion of the 'Wild Robert') were, thanks to the generous support by a bank, able to reopen the neglected and closed line between Nebitschen and Kemmlitz.
Now Kemmlitz, where everything is currently recultivated and has a nice lake, is able to be visited by the steam trains regularly. The railway line is located...

Nostalgie Zug Reisen have released a list of tours for autumn/winter 2018, which should be hauled by 01 1104/012 104-6 fresh from overhaul.

http://www.nostalgiezugreisen.de/projekt-01-1104/

The loco used to be based at Carnforth from 1975-96. Did it see much use there? The only photo I've found of it in steam is https://andrewstransport.smugmug.com/Germantrains/Carnforth-locos-Heilbronn/i-VtdJ4cP/A

The overhaul has been nicely documented on their website....

Società Veneta Ferrovie was one of the names of the old "Società Veneta per l'esercizio ferrovie secondarie", a company that, after the creation of FS state railways in 1905, was left with a collection of non connected branch lines. AFAIK only an handful lines survive, The Udine Cividale, operated by FUC, Adria-Mestre, operated by Sistemi Territoriali and two (maybe some more) operated by FER, the Bologna-Portomaggiore and Parma-Suzzara.
