    This year's edition of the now "legendary" Plandampf in and around the Werratal south of Eisenach in Germany is planned for 18-20 October. The decision date as to whether enough "subscribers" have contributed to enable the event to go ahead is August 20th.
    Details are to be found (in German) here :

    David Sprackland - if you read this are you still handling bookings from the UK?? (or does anyone else know if David is handling bookings this year?).

    Cheers
    Ian

    Got the e-mail from the organisers yesterday. Tempting though it is, I won't be able to make it this year so fingers crossed there's a 2019 event.

    It was another wonderful three days almost like it used to be - apart from the Stasi ;) - along the Werratal.
    Fabulous heavy freight action and a bit more besides.
    Highlights from the 3 days are here:
