Great coverage! Always love seeing hd footage of these parades from years past. It's such a shame that none of the Wolsztyn-based locomotives featured here are running anymore, let alone well cared for in the case of those Ol49s. In fact I'm pretty sure that the GWR Prairie 5521 and those two Czech steamers 475.111 and 423.0145 are the only locomotives in this video that are still operational. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for your feedback! The current parades are definitely a shadow of what they used to be, of course because the locomotives are slowly dying out. During my first visit to Wolsztyn as part of the Wolsztyn Experience foot-plating weeks, I spent time at the controls of Ty3-2, which was my most favorite time in a cab of a steam loco, distributing and collecting freight, and making short trip runs to nearby yards. Freight operations in Wolsztyn disappeared within a few years after that, and that kriegslok is long gone as an operating locomotive. I have a bit more HD and analog content of Wolsztyn steam to share in the upcoming months.
