Tour de Garden Part II - Pletten Railway revisited

It's typical, but as soon as I hit the publish-button on my last blogpost about our 'Garden Railway Marathon', another day out and running session was suggested. -This time as running session instead of a regular Tuesday club-evening at our Model Railway Club. I usually work odd hours, nights, weekends, red dates and so on, so I'm not always able to attend to our club-meetings on Tuesdays. But last night Thomas invited the club over for a running session at his Pletten Railway again, and that is actually on the way (via a slight detour) to my work, so I was able to make a stop there before going to work. Since I'm commuting by motorcycle I wasn't able to bring more trains that I could fit in my pannier again

This time I was able to fit wagons loaded with a complete Flosssack Pionierfähre/ Pioner Ferry.

The trains are getting ready in the Fiddle yard. These two are firing Live Steam Locomotives:

Here are some impressions of our day out:

I saw the prototype for this model when we visited Switzerland last year:

This is a Piko G-scale model of a V60 repainted as a Norwegian State Railway Di.5 from the 90ies. A very well done paint job indeed:

It looks like there is a small music festival by the coffee-machine:

As I've said before, Garden Railways are in the very social end of the hobby:

Thank you very much for your invitation and hospitality Thomas!

The next blogpost will be something more 'wargame' related...
