Brilliant day at The Greatest Gathering on Friday! The standard gauge attractions stole the headlines, so I've chosen to make a video focusing on the narrow gauge and miniature steam in action! Featuring steam on 2', 15" & 5" gauges #steamtrains #narrowgauge

Here's a newly remastered video from a particularly enjoyable day spent with my Dad walking footpaths around Jenbach filming trains on the steeply graded metre gauge Achenseebahn. Features loco No 1 in action, which was sadly damaged in a fire in Jenbach engine shed in 2008 and hasn't run since.
