A few German shunters.

Alstom203001GB_150205
Leased to DB Regio for shunting in the Bayern region, Alstom liveried 203 Class diesel No. 203 001-3 speeds light engine through Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof on February 15th, 2005. 14 of these locomotives are on hire, all rebuilt from 202 Class machines.

SO, I SHOULD be just finishing up my trip to Germany over the next few days, but as I am still in the UK and certainly not enjoying myself getting very wet over there, I may as well post a few pictures from my last trip to the land of sausages and beer way back in 2005. Here are a few 203 class shunters, caught shuttling around the station environs of Nürnberg.

Who knows, maybe my next holiday plans will be fourth time lucky and I’ll actually manage to get to the airport?
