Germany 08/06 to 21/06 1991 "Rods to Rodach"
A multi purpose trip, the normal new loco and new track scenario on the one hand & a more relaxed, culturally themed middle bit! I started the trip with John Sandham, spent 9 days with a non-crank friend from Immingham in the middle & finished bumping into Trog! # = New Locos.
1604 at Trier about to run round to form the 1643 service to Luxemburg
218 493 & 218 496 at Preetz on the 0740 Kiel - Hamburg Hbf
218 192 at Husum on the Sundays only 0701 Lubeck - Westerland. Rare track for haulage between Kiel & Husum
139 312 at Freiburg Littenweiler on the 0708 Frieburg - Neustadt
212 049 at Freiburg on the 0809 to Elzach
212 077 at the branch terminus of Breisach. Photo previously rejected but you can't take it again!
218 476 at Freudenstadt on the 1600 to Karslruhe a top line for diesel haulage back then
212 224 at Birkenfeld on the 1845 Phorzheim - Waldshut
218 904 at Cuxhaven off the 0747 from Hannover
218 491 about to run round in Neustadt. Why this International service ran via Neustadt I don't know - I'm just glad that it did!
211 044 at Roth ready for a run "under the wires" on the 0808 Hilpostein - Nuremberg. Jez is sat on the bench with our bags wondering when he'd be getting some breakfast.
360 241 looks pleased as punch to be working a passenger vice shunting in its yard! Waiting to work the 1343 Coburg - Rodach
As the destination board on the side of the Silberling coach says this is the Coburg - Rodach branch. The main question was "where's the 211 gone ?" 
360 241 looks good in glorious weather before working the 1427 Rodach - Coburg 
Surely one of the best brewery's in the world.
218301 in Old Red livery at Lindau on the 1537 Lindau - Basel Bad Bf.
11127 pulls into Schaffhausen on the 1157 Geneva - Stuttgart
212 225 on a short freight at Tuttlingen.
212 348 at Plochingen on the 1142 to Oberlenningen
212 342 at Lebach about to form the 1338 Lebach to Saarbrucken
181 224 at Luxemburg on 1826 to Trier
218 392 at Landshut off the 0725 from Freilassing
211 059 at Weiden on the 1225 to Bayreuth
The old order on DB with hordes of 212's scuttling about on local suburban services. Those were the days!
211 244 at Osnabruck
A rare event - a Lubeck 212 on a booked passenger turn! 212 005 at Kiel on the 0706 to Neumunster
240 001 at Heide on the 0808 Berlin to Westerland
Saturday 08/06/91
The overnight ferry as usual followed by a swift move across Belgium to Germany (also as usual).

The main aim for today was this, 2 Nohab's one for one, the 1st day of new diagrams that didn't balance so the only day that 2 Nohabs worked!

If anyone wonders how you can have 21 218's in a row & only have a repeat loco once - it took hours of careful planning at home looking through the diagrams & Kursbuch (timetable)!
Then a LONG leap to Koln for our planned overnight. I must have visited the buffet for beer on this journey.

Time to say goodbye to Mr Sandham. My mate Jez was arriving into Germany from Immingham on a Freight ship - direct from Immingham Docks! Most have a few proper cabins for when owners or Spouses etc join crew-mates on the boats, Jez worked for ABP in Immingham Docks and had arranged passage out & back on Freighters!
The stunning lack of beer drinking on the trip so far would be remedied over the next 9 days as Jez had put a veto on overnights, wanting time to explore destinations & do B&B's. This meant I booked rooms in pubs whenever possible & as I was in charge of the itinerary I would be using the travel we did do to cover new track on routes I'd hitherto not managed to cover. Pretty good Eh!
218 428# Hamburg Hbf - Cuxhaven 0801 Hamburg Hbf - Cuxhaven 115km
216 058# Cuxhaven - Wremen 0957 Cuxhaven - Braunschweig 29km
218 904 Wremen - Cuxhaven 0747 Hannover - Cuxhaven 29km
I had travelled up to Cuxhaven (new track for diesel) on an earlier train than I needed to, giving me time to cover 2 diesel turns in Cuxhaven & meant I'd get a different 218 back to Hamburg to boot.
218 462 Cuxhaven - Hamburg Harburg 1121 Cuxhaven - H.Harburg 103km
103 109 H.Harburg - Hamburg Hbf 0650 Frankfurt - Hamburg A. 12km
218 497# Hamburg Hbf - Lubeck 1311 Hamburg Hbf - Goteborg 63km
Then time for some more new track.

I think there was time for a meal & drinks in Kiel. Probably.
218 126) Kiel - Hamburg Altona 2249 Kiel - Innsbruck 104km
218 193#)
Yes I know we've not done a lot of "Culture" so far - that will start tomorrow! Jez used to do Freedom of Scotland Rovers with me in the mid 80's so is well used to train travel - but NOT a Euro Crank.
Wednesday 12/06/91
110 361# Hamburg Alt. - Nurnberg 2249 Kiel - Innsbruck 645km

141 032# Furth (Bay) - Nurnberg 0722 Erlang - Nurnberg 8km
Breakfast could wait, there was some new track for diesel available & under the wires at that!
111 044# Nurnberg - Roth 0811 Nurnberg - Munchen 26km
211 044# Roth - Nurnberg 0808 Hipoltstein - Nurnberg 26km
At last some culture for Jez, about 3 hours to grab brekkie & wander around the medieval streets of Nuremberg.
111 006# Nurnberg - Bamberg 0949 Munchen - Berlin 62km
I'd been desperate to cover the 211 turn from Coburg to Rodach (a threatened branch) for some time - now was my chance, we'd be doing more culture later.....
218 216 Bamberg - Lichtenfels 1115 Wurzburg - Hof 32km
141 218# Lichtenfels - Coburg 1312 Lichtenfels - Neustadt 21km
What's this - the 211 was in the yard shunting a rather hefty looking log train - where's the Pilot loco for that job? Of course, it's on our train!
360 241# Coburg - Rodach 1343 Coburg - Rodach 18km
360 241 Rodach - Coburg 1427 Rodach - Coburg 18km
141 029# Coburg - Breitengussbach 1548 Coburg - Bamberg 45km
211 049 Breitengussbach - Bamberg 1618 Eburn - Bamberg 8km
Well that was different! Bamberg is a Unesco World Heritage site, the Old Town over the river is crammed with medieval buildings including a fine Cathedral on the hill. Of more interest to me were the 13 family run Breweries & various beer gardens in the town! A cultural look around the Old Town followed by a night B&B in Brauerei Fassla with most of the drinking done in Brauerei Spezial straight across the road.
Thursday 13/06/91
A leisurely breakfast in the Fassla before making our way to Buchloe
141 021# Bamberg - Nurnberg 0942 Bamberg - Nurnberg 62km
103 129 Nurnberg - Augsburg 0620 Bremen - Munchen 137km
218 435 Augsburg - Buchloe 1313 Augsburg - Obertsdorf 40km
From here the Bavarian hills and mountains roll by - it's a fantastic route down to Lindau especially south of Kempten.
218 474 Buchloe - Lindau 1255 Munchen - Lindau 131km
Another top route following the Bodensee lake for part of the journey, also giving Jez chance to say he'd been to another country - Switzerland.
218 301# Lindau - Singen 1537 Lindau - Basel 93km
215 140# Singen - Schaffhausen 1756 Singen - Schaffhausen 19km
11127# Schaffhausen - Singen 1157 Geneva - Stuttgart 19km
Finally a run into the Black Forest, a journey we would complete tomorrow.
110 234 Singen - Tuttlingen 1157 Geneva - Stuttgart 34km
I didn't know where to stop tonight (no Camra Good Beer Guide Germany for info in those days) I plumped for Tuttlingen which fitted in with the move but turned out not great on the beer front. We'd booked a room above a Chinese restaurant - the ceilings were so low we both had to stoop to get around the room! I don't know what we ended up drinking but I do remember being drunk & needing Jez's help to get back to the room (so it was probably wine)!
Friday 14/06/91
We started by continuing our trip up through the Black Forest.
110 354# Tuttlingen - Stuttgart 0713 Zurich - Stuttgart 138km
103 245 Stuttgart - Plochingen 0606 Karlsruhe - Salzburg 22km
A short branch but difficult to do as the train service was mainly based around the students attending Kirkheim Tech!
212 348 Plochingen - Oberlenningen 1142 Plochingen - Oberlenningen 24km
212 348 Oberlenningen - Plochingen 1238 Oberlenningen - Plochingen 24km

110 179# Stuttgart - Heilbronn 1348 Stuttgart - Heilbronn 53km
140 679# Heilbronn - Bad Friedrichshall Jagstfeld 1440 Heilbronn - Osterburken 11km
A major signalling farce here led to us cutting our loses & getting a bus from outside the station to our ultimate destination Heidelberg. This turned out to be a good move, its a University city with a large Student population & is very nice. Even better we found a very recently opened brewpub to spend the evening drinking in.
Saturday 15/06/91
141 347# Heidelberg - Neustadt 1001 Heidelberg - Kaiserslauten 45km
120 148# Neustadt - Homburg 0600 Feldkirch - Saarbrucken 69km

212 342 Wemmetsweiler - Lebach 1311 Wemmetsweiler - Lebach 18km
212 342 Lebach - Saarbrucken 1338 Lebach - Saarbrucken 36km
We checked into our B&B before continuing the bash
110 145# Saarbrucken - Trier 1512 Saarbrucken - Koblenz 88km
181 224# Trier - Luxemburg 1643 Trier - Luxemburg 40km
Another new country for Jez
181 224 Luxemburg - Trier 1826 Luxemburg - Trier 40km
110 145 Trier - Saarbrucken 1819 Koblenz - Saarbrucken 88km
Another nice place, here we managed to do a couple of brewpubs - one was right opposite our digs!
Sunday 16/06/91
No better way to start than a 218 all the way to Frankfurt, (including new track as far as Turkismuhle)
this was a lovely scenic route for 218's.
218 378# Saarbrucken - Frankfurt 0912 Saarbrucken - Gottingen 212km
103 148# Frankfurt - Aschaffenburg 0538 Hamburg Altona - Wien 46km
218 425 Aschaffenburg - Lauda 1256 Aschaffenburg - Ulm 100km
That was 100 kliks of new track for Diesel!
110 179 Lauda - Wurzburg 1427 Stuttgart - Wurzburg 43km
141 014# Wurzburg - Bamberg 1656 Wurzburg - Hof 100km
We were meant to check in at the Fassla once again - but a winner prototype backed onto the train so Jez took the bags to check-in & I scratched the loco in.
218 006# Bamberg - Lichtenfels 1656 Wurzburg - Hof 32km
111 033# Lichtenfels - Bamberg 1820 Coburg - Lauda 32km
Another session in the Spezial (why not) but also a couple in the Fassla Brauerei where we were staying.
"New Boys" the Fassla only started brewing in 1649! What a place Bamberg is.
Monday 17/06/91
141 037# Bamberg - Nurnberg 0723 Lichtenfels - Nurnberg 62km
103 164 Nurnberg - Munchen Hbf 0712 Fulda - Munchen 199km
218 320# Munchen Hbf - Holzkirchen 1148 Munchen - Schliersee 37km
This was new track for Diesel but a bit pointless - I would have to do it again when I eventually went to Schliersee!
111 211# Holzkirchen - Rosenheim 1223 Holzkirchen - Kufstein 37km
111 006 Rosenheim - Salzburg 1250 Munchen - Salzburg 88km
Lunch and some sightseeing in another new country for Jez - Austria.
111 006 Salzburg - Traunstein 1618 Salzburg - Karlsruhe 35km
My cunning plan was to do winner track Traunstein to Garching with a 218, however we were well & truly BOWLED!
798 621) Traunstein - Garching 1715 Traunstein - Garching 34km
798 649)
218 343# Garching - Muhldorf 1718 Salzburg - Muhldorf 16km
We were staying in Muhldorf, not a place really geared up for the tourist trade (I had struggled to find somewhere to book a room) at the time, although these days I believe the area is very popular with Tourists.
After checking in we looked for somewhere to eat. The German traditional menu consists of about 95% meat, while stood outside a Restaurant perusing the menu to make sure we didn't order Horse, we noticed a Vegetarian section. The example shown in the photo being a Ham salad, liberally covered with chunks of ham. Well it is a salad! I don't think they'd quite got the hang of this vegetarian lark.
After dining (no Horse / no Salad) we made our way to the newly opened Muhldorf brewpub, just a few doors from the railway station.
Tuesday 18/06/91

111 218 Landshut - Regensburg 0837 Munchen - Berlin 62km
218 010# Regensburg - Weiden 0837 Munchen - Berlin 86km
My main aim today was the new track from Weiden to Bayreuth
211 059# Weiden - Bayreuth 1225 Weiden - Bayreuth 59km
This became of my favourite trains, the 1225 Weiden to Bayreuth always seemed very sociable - followed by Beers in a few of Bayreuth's fine pubs.
218 423# Bayreuth - Nurnberg 1525 Bayreuth - Nurnberg 94km
120 157 Nurnberg - Fulda 1521 Munchen - Bremen 215km
B&B in Fulda, this was the night I first found the pub where your stein of Kulmbacher beer was delivered to your table by model train - Hellfire!
Wednesday 19/06/91
A simple plan to do the diesel route to Giessen then forward along the Ems valley on the diesel route to Koblenz.
216 198# Fulda - Giessen 0845 Fulda - Giessen 106km
Not so simple after all - bowled by a 628 unit!

The reason for the overnight - a Lubeck 212 diagram had started = BIG!

A varied and interesting trip, I managed to mop up many bits of hard to get required track during my time with Jez. I always thought I could have done a lot more on these days but on reflection we still did quite a bit of travelling! I did 5 trips to Germany in 1991 so doing something a bit different like this was no bad thing.
