Hi all,West German 2-10-0 class 044-250 leads 2-10-0 class 050-185 that are blackening the sky at Eiler along the Mossel valley just after leaving the Kaiser Wilhelm tunnel, the longest in Germany working a Trier Koblenz freight of heavy hopper wagons. The steep valley slopes were covered in vines where ever possible. Alan Tregenna (1068) and I (1096) were on our two week bash in my old Ford Anglia WON 724 here in West Germany that was nearing its end before returning home on the long drive through France to the ferry at Calais.
10th July 1971.
Regards
Ledg.
