This BR86 tenderlok (Maerklin make a model) was used last month in a Hamburg container depot to shunt a train. The locomotive was deftly handled by the driver for such a heavy train. See video BR86 Hamburg 2019 Photography was by Bärbel Rasch und Jan Heyden on 24 May 2019. 86333 hat die Arbeit erledigt und fährt zurück zur Abstellung. Am nächsten Tag geht es weiter mit einem Sonderzug. Which translates to: 86333 has done the work and drives back to the shed. The next day we continue with a special train. Kimball

Kimball That was impressive. As you say, to get the train moving initially he had to be pretty careful on the throttle, each time he tried to add some power he had to control wheel slip. Makes modern shunting locos even more impressive with their electronic motor control that they can pull away with a train like this without the wheel slip. I wonder why they did this shunting with a steam loco, was it 'just because they could' ???

It looks like since the 150 year sea port birthday in Hamburg (HH) in 2016, there are some young oldies playing not only with gauge H0. No, they take the real ones.

My reading of the sub-titles suggests that it was being used for some passenger specials (certainly the next day), and in-between they tried it out in the Hamburg yard. Kimball

Kimball Hello Kimball, you are right. A short investigation at German websites leads me to plenty of other websites reporting about life, vita, usage, etc of this BR 86 333. Here are a few links for those who are interested, even not speaking German. But there are plenty of dates, facts and nice pictures from this loco as well. Because today this loco is used as a so called "Museumslok" (perhaps museums locomotive? in English - I do not know the correct English term for such a historic loco used for special nostalgia trips). Here are some links: http://www.eisenbahn-mus...tiven/baureihe-86/86-333 http://pressnitztalbahn..../tradition/861333-3.html https://www.dampflokomot...8587&action=portrait https://www.dampflokfreu...5-verkauf-der-lok-86-333 https://www.uef-dampf.de...ge/triebfahrzeuge/86-346 @kimballthurlow's link to the shunting steamer in 2019 was and is very interesting and informativ. It looks like that they started with such shuntings in 2016 for the 150 birthday of the sea port Hamburg https://www.hafen-hamburg.de/en/ https://www.hafen-hamburg.de/en/portmap Sometimes they may continue by such shuntings, which brings up these nice and uncommen pictures with a steamer in front of a complete container train. As you see in the map as huge this sea port is. I make a bet, the tracks in this area are not owned by the DB AG, but by the port Authority. So it might be easier to do some shuntings in this area as anywhere else. From this seaport the cargo station "Maschen" https://en.wikipedia.org...Maschen_Marshalling_Yard https://www.deutschebahn...nste/rbf_maschen-1311072 is supported by the most incoming and outgoing containers of Germany and Eastern countries. (Rotterdam is also important, but this is in the Netherlands. Also is a deep water port in Wilhelmshaven, the so called "JadeWeserPort" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JadeWeserPort But the problem there are not sufficient tracks for transporting the container to and from the sea port by trains. So at these days this port is not yet so important as it should be, although it is the only deep water port in Germany. Sorry lots of links again, but isn't a long weekend upcoming for viewing some steamer pictures? Best Regards TEEWolf
