Visiting a friend. Rain, grey clouds. Useless to go to the big train-areas nearby - BS. Hungry. Ok, let's go to the Christmas-market at the corner to take a sausage. The common x-mas rubbish. A brass-band. Oops, what an uniform they wear? No, it isn't the Salvation Army. Hey, this is the good old Bundesbahn-clothes including the "real" logo.
<br>I think they played (Wagner, Humperdinck and others), not only for the citizens, but although for trainspotters all over Europe their season-greetings. And they done it during cold, wet weather in their freetime. Real rialroad-men (and -women) are in service every time! Thanks to all the humans who make our hobby possible with their work for an interesting year 2003.
