NEW European Railway 44 & 47 DVD Combo

Description: Runtime 1 hour, 37 minutes Switzerland – a visit is made to the mainline from Z rich to Sargans, as it runs beside Lake Z richsee near to the town of W denswil. A host of Intercity, Eurocity, Sleeper, freight and S-Bahn services are seen. Classes 450, 460, Ae6/6, Re4/4, Re6/6, Classes 514, 526, 841, 843 and OBB1116 are all witnessed France – a look at suburban and mainline operations to the north of Paris. We feature movements through Villennes-Sur-Seine station which lies on the route to Mantes and Rouen. Endangered BB17000 electrics are seen as well as BB27300, BB15000, BB26000 and new z26500 electric units through this picturesque Seine town. Czech Republic – Part 1 of this two-part series was featured in European Railway Issue 43. This time, in Part 2, we head north along the Elbe River to st nad Labem and the famous photographic spot underneath St ekov castle perched high above the river. The railway lines are busy in this part of the country as we witness classes, 122, 123, 130, 163 and 753 on passenger and freight turns. The next day we follow the River Bilina towards the industrial town of Most. This time we witness further busy spells of rail activity featuring classes 110, 122, 123, 130, 163, 363 and 471 in action in the sunny weather. Switzerland – the narrow gauge Appenzeller Bahnen is featured as we call in on operations back in April 2011. In glorious sunshine the line’s trains are seen in magnificent mountain and lush alpine scenery, including on the rack section out of the Rhein Valley at Altst tten. Germany – we leave the best to last, an extended Winter feature on the Harz narrow gauge lines between Wernigerode, Brocken, Harzgerode and Quedlinburg. We have station shots and scenes from on board the trains as they make their way through the snow-covered landscape. However, first of all we have to get to the line and what better way than behind preserved V200 (Warship) number V200-033 on a railtour organised by rail operator On Wheels. We have plenty of Maybach thrash to get us into the spirit of the occasion! Once at Wernigerode we study the various forms of traction to be seen on the network during the Winter months, from the resident steam locomotives, to the single diesel railcars and the mighty class 199, ex-standard gauge DR Class 201, diesels. The finale though is the ride behind a class 99.7 steam loco from Wernigerode to the top of the snow-covered Brocken, where the sight of steam, sun and snow are an irresistible combination. We cannot recall a time where we have seen such stunning steam and snow footage taken in this part of the world – our cameraman Richard Scott really braved the icy elements in order to get the on-train sequences. Runtime 1 hour 41 mins approx. SLOVAKIA - main line to the east of Kosice on the way to The Ukraine. A mixture of standard-gauge and broad-gauge trains are seen amidst gently rolling hills in a quiet rural setting. Both passenger and freight services are seen hauled by a mixture of classes 162, 163, 131, 183, 125.8, class 460 EMUs and ancient class 140 electrics. GERMANY - V200 007 at work on the branch to Dagbüll Mole. SWITZERLAND - set amidst spectacular mountain and lakeside scenery, the town of Flüelen lies on the busy Gotthard main line. We paid a visit to this tourist town in May 2012 to study the railway that passes through its station. Classes 470, 500, 523, Re4/4, Re6/6 and DB class 185 are all seen on a mixture of freight and passenger services. This is an excellent location for the railway traveller to visit, with loads of scenery and loads of trains! THE NETHERLANDS - The route to the south of Utrecht is our chosen feature as we study mainly passenger operations on this busy rural mainline. Spectacular bridges over the River Lek and Amsterdam canal make for some interesting photographic opportunities, all mixed with modern trains. POLAND - the town of Wegliniec is close to the border with Germany and acts as a staging post for cross-border passenger and freight services. As well as this there are a number of rural branch lines radiating from the town which generate a variety of train types to be seen. In this action-packed feature we see, ST43, SU46, SM42 diesels, EP07, ET22, EN57 electrics, SA134, SA135 and DB class 642 DMUs and a DB class 232 diesel. FRANCE - a study of rail operations to the west of Marseille, filmed in April 2012. BB67400 are seen on intercity and local passenger services, including shots from on board the trains. Endangered BB25500 electrics are viewed on local stopping services; Freight trains are seen with class BB7200, BB75000, as well as ECR class 66 and Europorte G1000. GERMANY - we travel to Bavaria to witness diesel operations on the main and branch lines in the foothills of the alps. Situated in stunning scenery we see trains on the Oberstdorf branch with class 612 DMUs and class 218 and ex-OBB class 2143 diesels in charge. We then travel to the Füssen branch with class 642 DMUs and class 218 diesels on local passenger turns - with yet more superb mountain scenery as the backdrop. Finally we move north to the mainline south of Buchloe, with further class 218 diesel action. In just under twelve months it is expected that the current class 218s will begin to be replaced by the new Traxx 245 ME diesels, so scenes that we have captured here, will soon become history.
