The piggy back system was common in the former East Germany but the other way round with narrow gauge flat wagons transporting standard gauge wagons. They weren't close coupled as shown the old B&W photograph in this video but had a long round pole coupling bar to couple the wagons together. The narrow gauge transporter wagon road just above the rails so that the standard gauge wagons being transported would fit within the narrow gauge railway loading gauge.
Welcome aboard! As you can see, my channel is still fairly small, but I’m getting there. There are some other projects cooking in the background that will, eventually, make it here. Hopefully you enjoy what I have here though.
Yes, the ambulance tram gets scrapped despite it's value to troops and history, while these monstrosities get saved. Yes, lets scrap the historic and unique equipment but instead save engines that are sliced together from older trains
I have learned something today: Australian railroaders thought themselves gods, but only had Australian wildlife as a template.
Totally subscribed. I hope there is a part 3.

You guys forgot ex-Victorian Railways Y109. (Built in 1889 as an 0-6-0 and was converted to a diesel in the 1950s).
You’ve just gained a new subscriber from this good sir.
