These pages are devoted to my unhealthy obsession with all
things
relating to Austrian railway branch lines of the 1990s - even unto the
present day - and my little
model railway 'Altfelden' which tries to recreate the happy days I
have spent visiting and travelling on these lines. I hope they will be
of
interest, especially to my friends in the Austrian Railway Group.
Note: The new Austrian
Railway Group website is under development. The old URL
www.austrian-railways.org has been allowed to expire by the Committee
and (as happens) replaced by a cyber-sitting advert page. Everyone will
need to change their links!
2043 008-8 (Roco model) stands at Altfelden with the usual train of two
Schileren coaches. DCC means you can easily photograph a train with
headlights on. Taken with my Canon Powershot A720, 1/4 second at F8 in
ordinary light, brightened and sharpened up a little in the computer,
and
the sky tided up.
The Liliput 5146 is maybe slightly too old for my period, but it's a
fine model.
Anyone interested in the 1993 'Konsum' logo and lorry decor, or the
phone box, please get

Updated November 2009.
Note: Altfelden is not a real place! I was originally inspired by
the station at Neufelden in
Upper Austria, and there is a real village (without a station) in the
same area called Altenfelden,
and both are lovely places well worth a visit....
