    Not many details at present, except that it'll be based around Neustadt an der Weinstraße, and there'll be steam hauled services to various destinations.

    So that's one loco confirmed - 23 058. I still can't find anything else out about the event, but it seems to be going ahead. There's a tour from Neuss with an electric loco on the Saturday.

    I can't find anything else out about it though! It's not listed on Drehscheibe or Eisenbahn Planer. Even the railway museum at Neustadt merely lists their own children's festival on the Saturday, no mention of the Plandampf. Very odd. Yet there's a large booklet been produced (warning, it's 17Mb).

    A big brochure that's for sure but no real details of the Plandampf that I could find. May have to read it again.

    After a lot of searching I found the same page! There is also a day of photo specials and a little bit of Plandampf on Tuesday 4 October organised by UEF, for which a payment of 150€ is required. See their website for more info.
    Despite being involved in most Plandampf events for 30+ years, I'm not involved with or collecting money for, this one!
