On one of our first trips to West Germany we managed to sneak round the steam workshops at Linen, closed for the weekend, on the Rhine Emden line in the north of the country and were surprised to see this engine undergoing overhaul and a long way from it’s home depot. We believed at the time they had all finished working in the west, 298 were built in the 1930s. This is a 2 cylinder light Pacific 003-131 which we found out to be allocated to Ulm, in the south of the country, the last depot to have them and which we were to see the next year working to Crailsheim and Friedrichshafen. This was about as far away from the engine I could get but lots of bits and pieces associated with workshops including the side rods in the fore ground off the engine. Behind 131 is the tall chimney of a class 094 0-10-0 tank engine. Saturday 10th October 1970.
