How close do you live from the tracks? You get some great shots! {:^D

I live 9 kilometers away from this track. It was my daily way to school too.

That would be so cool to watch.

Yeah it was. Also really interesting. You read my note?

didn't get a note? but I did read your responces:)

hmmm, maybe I was wrong and I left you a mail instead. Just check to be sure, please.

okay. last message you were talking about something for the mares:)

yep and still thinking, but my mind is blank. If you have any ideas or suggestions, just note them or send me a mail.

Awesome :)

By any chance is that a BR131 pushing the snow blower

If we have a few flakes of snow here everything can't cope and it all shuts down

Nope, this is a BR 218 pushing it.

Ahh.... Nearly there ^_^

Built a model kit of the BR131 a while ago (now sold) and thought it looked familiar.... Looking closer at it now i see the twin exhaust stacks

Well the BR 131 is a modell from Revell right? It was used at the GDR and came from Russia. But she is still used today, only other numbers, like 232, 233, 234.

That's the one, the begger with the 'full' interior

I only concentrated on the shape of it, didn't know they were imported though!! Back then i didn't read the blurb on the front of the instructions

The only decals were for Deutschen Reichsbahn, so picked a random one and used them. It said something about different decals for a 231 version...

I'm guessing the only major difference between variants is upgraded systems?

Yep, better engines and stuff like this. Some lost the train heating and are only used for cargo, others were used for passenger trains earlier too, but now they only pull cargo trains. Sometimes it is good to read the blurb instructions too, hehe

Lost the heating?! Not good on cold days

I always do now :P

Well they only pull cargo trains today, so they do not neet a heating, lol
