[quote user="Firelock76"] That's a fascinating video of the train with National Volks Armee vehicles.  What I really found interesting was the men on board wearing what looks like NVA uniforms.  Are there people doing NVA re-enactments?  I guess anything's possible, I read once there's even American Civil War re-enactors in Germany.  But the NVA?  That seems strange, unless it's "Ostalgie." Anyway, that locomotive looks great!   Too bad there's no "Plandampf"  allowed at this time.  I guess the  current Bundesbahn officials don't have any sense of fun. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] I was also surprised to see all this NVA gear and people wearing a uniform which was once the enemy´s. There seems to be a bunch of folks in the eastern part of Germany who just adore the times gone bye ... Bundesbahn is not existent any longer. Legally, it was transformed into a private corporation, with the stocks exclusively held by our administration. The name is now "Deutsche Bahn". Although Deutsche Bahn officials have no sense of fun, Plandampf could still be possible, but the administrative work to get that off the ground is just enormous. The folks who did that in the past are well into their 70´s now and they just don´t feel strong enough to do that job. Luckily, there is still a great number of steam powered rail fan special trains around. Interesting fact is, that the word Plandampf has entered into the French and English language. If you enter the Plandampf into youtube, you get tons of nice vids!
