Welcome to Between the Lines video magazine issue 7- In this issue we will: 1. Follow the international rail freight corridor between Austria and Germany. We will visit Kledering Vbf and see how trains are dispatched to the Westbahn. Visit Austrias industrial heartland at Linz. Pause at Wels the junction station for the line to Germany. Watch trains at Passau and conclude at the Danube port city of Regensburg. (31mins) 2. Our next item marks a change of pace if not of country! We're heading north into the former DDR to the lovely city of Dresden. Redebeul Ost is the start station for a delightful Ex DR narrow-gauge line, the 750 millimetre Lossnitzbahn sometimes called the Lossnitz Valley Railway or locally the Lossnitz Dachshund. (15mins) 3.Spend some time at steam festival at Dordrecht in the Netherlands. Highlight of the show were two steam locomotives: an ex DB Pacific 01 10 75 – built as 012 075-8 by the Berlin Maschinebau – Schwartzkopf – in 1940. The other locomotive in the pair of exhibits was 65 081. She is one of 18 sisters built for the DB between 1952 and 1956 by Kraus Maffei in Munich. The powerful 2-8-4 was taken out of service in 1972 and is the only operational member of her class. (8mins) 4. Visit Eurospoor 2007 to look at an HO Belgian layout from Modelspoorgroep Zevenbergen. We interlace the delightful model with some prototype shots around Lier and Visé the Montzen line and make some comparisons with the new Betuweroute in the Netherlands. (12mins)
