A German's Views of TR on a Monday
See the blog post for Monday 30 July 2018 when we had visitors from Saxony, Germany, for whom a special train was run.
Gert Klinger was in the group, and has posted photos and a video on his website, and linked through to Google's 'Tanfield Railway', which should show these links, but I'll give them directly.
See Echtdampf-Gartenbahn / Steam in Scotland / Tanfield Railway for all photos from the day.
View Gert's YouTube video Steam in Scotland from 11:30 to the end 22:38
