Notes

I like going out hunting trains, or knowing in advance that something will come along, but nothing is as much fun as hearing a steam engine outside my window or, in this case, getting a call saying that there is a steam engine in Goslar station, jumping in the car and hoping to arrive before it departs again. Which turned out to be quite easy, actually. As of this writing the locomotive should still be standing there.

This unit, apparently named Braunschweig, seems to be vaguely related to the prussian T3, though I don’t know it enough to know whether it’s actually the same. Here, it had arrived with a train from Braunschweig (Brunswick in english), and was now parked besides a Silberling trainset. The tank car behind it, by the way, seems to be a make-shift water tender.
