With the DR's fading individual identity onwards from re-unification came the rundown of its Goerlitz narrow gauge workshops.
However on this day in 1993 loco 99 1761-8 from Cranzahl has emerged and is put through it's paces upon the works multi-gauge test track.
RAW 'DSF' ( German-Soviet Friendship) Goerlitz succeeded the well-equipped facility Bw Schlauroth. Loosely speaking E-Bw Schlauroth, situated at the western section of the electrified Silesian Railway, became obsolete post 1945 when this important electrified route ceased to exist.
Despite such excellent facilities it appears that little opportunity to diversify prevailed, except that some standard gauge locos passed through mid '90s, so that by 1996 came full closure with all narrow gauge works transferred to Meiningen.
Many thanks to works representative Mr Winfried Meyer offering an exhaustive tour upon our arrival there unannounced.

Well - I must admit that I have never written on this old typewriter. I have it just for decoration as a reminder of times gone
Macro Mondays Theme: Junk Drawer
This is the cable from an old phone that we kept in case our digital phones stopped working. Really don't think we need this anymore!
To enhance it I used red and orange (although it turned out more yellow) sweet wrappers over my torches, the only 2 colours I found. Then fairy lights on the blue background. Think I need to invest in some more hightech lighting solutions so I can choose some different colours.
Always appreciate your comments and favourites. Happy Macro Monday (a day early)!

Overtaken by new and much better technology, these tape cassettes nevertheless have a place in my heart. Vinyl records have recently enjoyed a revival but despite improvements in tape coating quality and noise reduction systems, I think that cassette tapes have had their day.

The two shilling coin were withdrawn from circulation in 1970. The coin of two shillings is also known as a 'florin' or a 'two-bob bit'. With a value of one-tenth of a pound sterling, it is the exact equivalent to the current ten pence coin. -
St Mary's Parade Lancaster. All the houses in Lancaster from before about 1950 have lots of chimneys, because they would have had a fireplace in each room and a range in the kitchen. Now houses have, at most, one fireplace for smokeless fuel or a wood-burning stove. So all the others are empty and may be sealed to avoid the draft. They make nice homes for jackdaws.
