Joe!

V interested to read your comments about Germany, takes me back to when I visited DR in 1982, to Saalfeld, a wonderfully steamy place - also the mighty 015's between Erfurt & Bebra - there was so much dampf to see then! The experience was heightened in Saalfeld by frost & snow with resultant satisfying master photo's gained - also, to add to the smoky atmosphere, points (switches in Americanese) were very effectively being de-frosted by the use of small coal fires in close proximity to the point blades - all very labour-intensive! 'Twas like going back to Germany as it was in the 1920's, or so I'm reliably informed!
