Hello John, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on my video. I spent a couple of holidays in Germany with organised groups. The most recent was in Dresden for their steam festival, which was great. If you’d like to see that, it’s on my UA-cam account, along with lots of other visits like the steam workshop at Meiningen, which I think you’d enjoy too! Best wishes from across The Pond. Brian
Hi and thank you. It certainly is. The same family that own this lot have yet another batch of locos somewhere else in Germany. It is a shame they're in such a state of decay, some are just too far gone to be rescued. Thanks for subbing - I've subbed back to you :) Cheers, Brian
You're quite right - they're more of a wildlife haven these days. I'm not sure if there's enough interest in all those Class 50's and 52's. But anything 01 (like 01 204) might be worth a few bob :)
Es nennt sich Museum, ist aber in meinen Augen ein großer Schrottplatz. E Loks ohne Oberleitung, Rumaenische Dampfloks. Nur zum Weinen. Ich nenne es Raffgier. Haben haben ohne Rücksicht auf andere. 😊
@@BrianSeaman Yes of course it is. But you must see the other side. So many Railway Clubs would be happy when they had the Chance to buy a Engine and then one Man is coming and buys everything he can get because he have a lot of money. This isn't the only Place he got, he got a second Place in former Eastgermany in the same Condition. Greetings from Bruno
@@BrunoHöhl-r9d yes I can see that this man bought everything he could, (that's a lot of 50's and 52's), and I heard there was a second yard also in his possession. What he did does not seem to fit the mood of that time, unless of course he thought he could also repair them with his own money? Maybe he didn't realise at the time what he was taking on, and ran out of interest with the project? These things happen unfortunately. At the moment, we have at least one collection of old diesels here in the UK, where someone is actually slowly repairing them, but others complain that he is just letting them rot, which he denies.

@@raymondleggs5508 Not so. I'm a realist. These dampfloks are very far gone. The owners will pass on and the Lokomotivens will be cut and cleared up. Tell me your plausible alternative scenario?
@@PreservationEnthusiast Some of the dampfloks are in decent enough condition, others can be used for parts and the unusable parts scrapped. Cannibalized Eisenbahn. 😀
Well, I love a bit of rust but this is something else - the ravages of time and exposure to the elements. Superb video Brian.
Thanks Phil, one of the most memorable railway places I've visited in Germany.
Steam Locomotive Information listed 42 dampfloks. I'm an old man in Ohio so I have to visit these places via vids. Thank you.

This is an exceptional film, very neat & interesting. Loved it. Thank you
Thank you Ginger Bread - that's very kind of you :)
Looks like an amazing place. Sad that such great machines are just left to rust away. I liked and subbed to your channel

Brian Seaman oh man that truly is a shame. Thanks for the return sub. I appreciate it 😃
You're very welcome. I look forward to watching your films :)
Brian Seaman same here

Hi Brian . not a lot of hope I should think for most of the loco's out side in the elements
Dave..

I understand - it still is interesting to visit though :)
