A short video of the SBB train coaches moving towards the DA for hookup.

And this is the spot from where I took the last pictures, on the curve just next to the rails

As hwestl wrote; The Croc wasn't there, but we still had a great time.
We got to see the swiss coaches together with a swedish DA locomotive and 2 swedish coaches
Here is my video of it:




And look how many members from Märklin-users there showed up at our meeting point! Even a whole bus!
(Just joking...! But it was funny that all these people showed up at the place we were supposed to meet... at the exact time we had decided... )

Here are some pictures from this wonderful day together with the märklin-users members (webmaster, hwstl, rapunzel).







Inside the DA 820
I was lucky to be able to come aboard the DA 820 locomotive.

Here is Herrfleck in the driver seat.



Here is the machine room / electric engine room. (Not sure about the correct word for it, but you get what I mean).

According to a short blurb in LOK Report (www.lokreport.de) the Crocodile was taken to Seddin for repairs.
Not other details given.

It will come.

Lot of nicely pictures!
I really did enjoy to watch Da locomotive!

An update on the Crocodile from Swedish Postvagnen (Mail coach):

Då har det precis bestämts att Krokodilen kommer att transporteras via Danmark. Detta tack vare ett otroligt fint erbjudande från Hector Rail som tillsammans med Danmarks Jernbanemuseum och Veterantog Vest som fixat detta. Ett väldigt och från hjärtat stort tack!

Krokodilen kommer alltså på vägen upp till Sverige INTE gå via tågfärjan från Polen till Ystad, utan den kommer i början av nästa vecka att dras i transport från Berlin till Padborg av Railadventure, för att sedan dras av Hector Rail genom Danmark till Malmö. Där tar vi över och drar loket genom Sverige till Stockholm.

Nu håller vi också tummarna för att montage och inskavning av lager samt provkörning i Berlin gör att loket håller hela vägen. Lagren har kommit och är nu under bearbetning.

Med vänlig hälsning Henrik Reuterdahl, SJVM"

As it has just been decided that crocodile will be transported via Denmark. This is thanks to an incredibly nice offer from Hector Rail, which together with the Danish Railway Museum and Veterantog Vest that fixed this. A great thanks and from the heart!

The crocodile will thus on the way to Sweden will not go via the train ferry from Poland to Ystad, but it comes at the beginning of next week transported from Berlin to Padborg by Rail Adventure, then pulled by Hector Rail through Denmark to Malmö. Where we take over and pull the locomotive through Sweden to Stockholm.

Now we also keep our fingers crossed that mounting and adjusting of the bearing and test drive in Berlin means that the locomotive can make it the whole way. Bearings have arrived and are now being processed.

Yours sincerely Henrik Reuterdahl, SJVM"

This means that it seems that the Crocodile will come through Denmark, meaning that also Danish enthusiasts should have cameras ready!

I like the Hbils wagons.. In this case they help to date the train as 21st Century.. I hope that Marklin produce this one..

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

So our assumptions in Ystad were right - there is a lot of booze in that wagon...
