More than a month has passed without posting. Work
and my daughter moving to her own apartement has kept me busy.
Consequently modelling has suffered. I now have only one teenager left in the house and a spare bed room. I wonder what to do with that...
On a few occasions I have been out of the office to visit work sites on the railway. One of the visits took me to an
impressive yellow machine 'Katharina die Grosse', a ballast and
subballast cleaning and replacement machine. Coupled with wagons it
stretched for more than 800 m in length - something quite different from
tiny narrow gauge railways. Here are a few photos:

die Grosse' is a Spitzke operated Plasser & Theurer RPM-RS-900. The
machine was in Denmark to support a track work contract carried out by
the company I work for. |

| A train of MFS-100 wagons being loaded with gravel to supply 'Katharina' with gravel for the subgrade. |
 |
| A nice day at the office, at least when the weather turns out splendid. |
 |
| At different sites on the line other tasks were carried out by machines of a more modest size. Here a standard two-way Liebherr excavator digs out bad soil before a new subgrade from gravel is built into the dam. |
