The German steam engine, 58 311, built in 1921, is the only working example of its class. The locomotive was retired by the DR in 1976, then sold to West Germany and was operating again from 1985 until this January. After years of exciting trips the boiler needs an overhaul which will result in a nearly new boiler.
This CD presents recordings of 58 311 with specials on the AVG line to Bad Herrenalb and on branch and main lines of the DB. A true highlight is 58 311 storming uphill with a 1300 tonne limestone train.
Over 50 minutes are recorded on the footplate, working a seven coach train and as rear end pusher on a 15 coach steam special.

('Jumbo' is the nickname for the class 043 & 044 steam locomotives)
Even after electrification of the Hamm - Altenbeken - Kassel mainline, class 043 & 044 2-10-0s continued to haul heavy freights. The sounds of these 3 cylinder locos in hard, fast and dramatic action were recorded, in stereo, on the cold, quiet autumn nights of November 1972. This is only 22 minutes long and the cheap price reflects this, but hey, this is all incredible action!

At Athens A-461 & A-464 doublehead making a magnificient start. A-466 creates a 'rolling thunder' as it climbs the grade to Aghios.
