ENG 58-311 WORK EXTRA NEUSTADT TO KAISERSLAUTEN.

I'm not sure how German dispatchers authorize work extras.  I like what they did with this one, in the Palatinate Forest.


That Decapod is from the Weimar era class of Decapods, with three cylinders, and a very regular 6/8 rhythm in the exhaust. The 50 and 52 class War Emergency kettles have a similar look, if with rougher construction and two cylinders. The work extra is moving track panels and ballast. Perfect for modelling.
