All Change 2017<\/span><\/p>\n Still no boundary fences are provided, even on quite busy roads.<\/p><\/div>\n The first stop is Neuenhaus Sud …<\/p>\n … and we meet our first real signal as we approach Neuenhaus, terminus of the freight service.<\/p>\n The camera lens is wide angle which makes the corners look far sharper they they are in real life.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n The new platform …<\/p>\n … sits close to its more illustrious predecessor.<\/p>\n The town’s bus station is, of course, outside the building ideally suited for interchange.<\/p>\n The terminus of the freight line is on the southern fringes of the town …<\/p>\n … with the passenger service joining from the top left. Our video cameraman films one of the two overbridges that were spotted yesterday from the freight loco cab.<\/p>\n Remember that industrial site …<\/p>\n … and that other overbridge.<\/p>\n The last stop before Bad Bentheim is Quendorf …<\/p>\n … and soon we are approaching our southern terminus and interchange with the rest of the Deutsche Bahn network.<\/p><\/div>\n Under more traditional “approach control’ …<\/p>\n … we soon glide into our new-build platform.<\/p>\n Interesting!<\/p><\/div>\n Most were “standard” with a tasteful bend in the middle and all were extended below the solebar as above. Some, however were straight …<\/p>\n … and there were variations in the extra hand holds at the top – if fitted!<\/p>\n A few, it seems, had one central end ladder.<\/p>\n These did not descend below the buffer beam but there was one rung at the side to get the athletic top cap opener up to this bottom of his ladder!<\/p><\/div>\n So below are the ladders on the three OO models being compared – for now.<\/p><\/div>\n
