A terrific winter capture Peter. I love the snowy scene and the way the engine seems to emerge from a cloud of steam

I wish you and yours a very merry Christmas

Hi Carol,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I am pleased you found it interesting.
Snow and cold weather always makes for clouds of water vapour, and a nice picture!
That is part of the reason we go there!!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Peter

This is terrific!

Hi Erhard ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit, and especially your help with the background information. I am so happy that you like the scene.
We had picked up a leaflet which had the route and gradient profile on it, so we picked the steepest accessible place!!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Wow beaucoup de neige chez toi Peter, ce train anime joliment tout ce blanc manteau !
Joyeux NOËL cher Peter et de belles fêtes de fin d'année ainsi qu'à ta famille.

Hi Jocelyne,
Thank you for visiting!
Glad you like it.
Big black steam locomotives in the snow always make nice pictures, especially going up steep gradients!

Bon week-end festif et bon et joyeux Noël.

A wonderful capture here Peter. I saw some of these & 10-wheelers too when we visited the Harz some years back. Thanks for sharing.

All the Best. Herb

Hi Herb ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the scene.
Please don't confuse this with the narrow gauge steam locos on the Harz railway. This is a full size standard gauge locomotive. I've added a link above.
The number gives it away.. All German narrow gauge start with 99-
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
