    I have just returned from aholiday in Austria and whilst travelling into Vienna I briefly spotted 3 steam locos parked in a bay platform and I believe the station was Heiligen Stadt on the line into Vienna Franz Josef . One loco was a large tank no. 77 250 , the other 2 were large tender locos . One may have been 31122 . Any help in the identities of the locos and any other info would be much appreciated .

    77 250 was originally 629.65 a 4-6-2 tender loco Krauss 1927 rebuilt 1949 after war damage, withdrawn 1973 from Wien East, plinthed 1974 in Liechenstein as a general representative of the steam era although no local connection, went for restoration at Ceske Velenice, finance ran out, there was a major legal dispute, the Vaduz club felt robbed, and at present its back in Wien. Don't recognise your other number would suggest 33132 a 4-8-0, other could be 919 138 which has been there.
