First let me thank you for the Polish element. As far as I’m concerned, the locomotives are beautiful beasts!! If I could get hold of a model of one, it would be absolutely wonderful!!
The only reason I told you about my mom’s family is because she told me that Lvov and Toporow were in Poland - as they were in the time of the Austro/Hungarian Empire, when my great great grandfather on her side were alive.
This polish loco content has been fantastic. I noticed you weren't at Statfold on the steam up weekend on Saturday. Although your digital self was doing a great job. I am guessing you were busy getting the layout module ready.
Wow such an amazing series of videos lawrie it's amazing to see steam locomotives running around different countries I was wondering also would you like to help me fix my old vauxhall Vectra as a what's broken now video as I am struggling to find someone to help me fix it only if your up for it
World politics. Yesterday's enemies have become today's allies. Unfortunately yesterday's allies have become today's enemies. The difference between the global politics of World War 2 & every conflict that followed. Allies VS the Axis. Now it's NATO VS the Warsaw Pact. During World War 2 Germany, Italy & Japan did some horrible things. The countries & their civilians suffered at the consequences of their leaders & dictators decisions. The Allies destroyed much of those countries. Then after the war. The allies rebuilt them again. Germany, Italy & Japan Joined NATO. Russia & China, were on the Allies side. Then the Cold War broke out. Russia, China & North Korea. The members of the Warsaw pact. Rescent conflicts involving Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria. Now Ukraine & Taiwan. A conflict breaks out. It becomes a NATO vs Warsaw conflict. Struggles for independence. Economic sanctions. Trade embargoes. Boycotts. Revolutions. Diplomacy & war. It's not a pleasant experience. When Diplomacy fails. War follows Unfortunately.
Norway also received “Kriegsloks”, I think all BR 52’s. I recently learned that there were as many as 74 delivered, but also that they required infrastructure for 15t axle load. The Norwegian fleet were mostly smaller engines, more suitable for the curvature and branch line type of operations making up the state railway. I _think_ the last heritage operational _type 63a ‘stortysker’ (“big German”)_ ran in 2007, and that none of the two preserved are certified today. Nearly all those branch lines and auxiliary lines got decommissioned and fully torn up. NJK (Norsk Jernbaneklubb) is fantastic, but financially, heritage rail has been too niche in a geographically large country with ‘only’ 5’ish million people. Note to self; I really should get back to being a paying member…!
@@musiqtee Norway was given the BR 52's after WW2 as "compensation" by the Germans, but also BR 57 Gammeltysker "old German" but NSB did not bother servicing those engines when needed seeing as they really was too stiff in the frame for the Norvegia railway network. So they fell out of use and therefore not percerved as NSB type 61 as they were known by NSB 😊 As a side note, Norway did have big and really powerful engines before the Germans arrived, take Type 29 and Type 49 as examples 👍
To jest cała poezja pary, uwielbiam parowozy.

I really like the Polish and German locomotives.
Lot of time for The Kriegslock. I have fired one and found it quite an experience
If you specifically want a Ty2 Roco in HO are releasing a model this year product number 70107 and 70108 for DCC sound
Loving the polish content
Pleased to hear you've enjoyed the mini series
I went here. Glad to see it still open.
The only reason I told you about my mom’s family is because she told me that Lvov and Toporow were in Poland - as they were in the time of the Austro/Hungarian Empire, when my great great grandfather on her side were alive.
My mother’s family came from a very small village called Toporow, pronounced ‘Toporov’. My uncle has been, but I haven’t.
Would be great to visit there one day!
If you want to see Steam at Wolsztyn you need to do it soon!

I didn't get rostered!
So I just got on with the module.
Glad you've enjoyed the mini series!
@@lmm I did see some of your team around on the Saturday though. Can't miss them in the hoodies
@@bentullett6068 excellent
I have wondered for many years of the function for the shields/panels at the front of many European engines. They really don't exist in the US.
They're smoke deflectors. They help lift the smoke clear/ cut a path through the smoke so you can see the line in front.
Super video :)

Hi, I love the channel
Cool video!
Thank you
When will the next LawrieGoesLoco episode come?
By the way, the "Kriegslocks" (ÖBB BR 52)were used until the mid 80s in Austria.
In two weeks time!
Kriegslock loco was that a polish built under license or is a WW2 rebuilt has very west German style tender

I am quite a fan
Have you ever tryed anny Norwegian steam?🙂
No but would love to
@@lmm Recommend Krøderbanen, it's Norways longest preserved line. And also Urskog Høland Banen ( UHB for short), that is a narrow gauge railway 😊
I'll have to have a look!

My mother’s family started in the city of Lviv, which I was taught was Lvov, in which there is now war with Russia.
Some of these look rather a lot like peer gynt at Bressingham
Yes, it's one of that class
Polish whistle-blowers
