The age of steam on railways throughout the world is not being allowed to die. This 1936 veteran has been restored by railway enthusiasts in Bavaria, and it travels on a special line between Tegernsee and Schaftlach. The locomotive was to be cut up for scrap metal until the railway enthusiasts took it over. “The restoration fulfils a much-cherished dream,” said Mr Hartmut Kopferl, who now drives the engine. It is restricted to a speed of 50km/h.
