Austria: OBB metre-gauge steam

Post by Steve Appleton »

Posted for the photographer, Dennis Mitchell:
And now for something completely different. An OBB (Austrian) 399 class, metre-gauge loco at Alt Weitra on the Gmund - Gross Gerings line. This metre-gauge line linked two standard gauge lines, hence it is made up of "through" traffic - standard-gauge wagons on narrow-gauge flattops. Australia may have come up with the idea but those Teutonic minds exploited it to the full!
