Our Digitally Remastered Series are bigger, better and in stunning HD for the very first time! These are the original programmes which have been put through the upscale and remastering treatment with improvements to audio, colour balance, contrast and most of all - picture quality. Some of the trains featured here were never filmed in HD or in broadcast quality. Now, for the first time - you can enjoy just that!
Six different lines in the Dresden area of south east Germany.
The Weisseritztalbahn from Freital-Hainsberg to Kipsdorf. The Fichtelbergbahn from Cranzhal to Oberwiesenthal. The Pressnitztalbahn from Johstadt to Steinbach. The Lossnitzgrundbahn from Radebeul to Radeberg. The Zittau Schmalspurbahn from Zittau to Oybin and Jonsdorf and the Waldeisenbahn Muskau from Weisswasser to Bad Muskau.
Excepting the 60cm gauge Waldeisenbahn Muskau, these lines are all 75cm and use the 7K 2-10-2 tanks plus the 0-4-4-0 4K Saxon-Meyers. The lines are all very different in nature, travelling up stiff gradients to 3000 feet, through remote gorges and open fields and contrasting with urban running through the streets of suburban Dresden. Daily services link in with local bus and mainline trains.
