European Railroad Discussion > Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016Date: 06/24/16 21:06 Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: tq-07fan After visiting Miniatur-Wunderland we rode the Hochbahn to the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. We had a group Day Pass which meant that we had to stay together as a group.
1) DT 3 train set. Notice that the time is already half past one. Allow several hours at least to see Minatur-Wunderland when you go there. 2) Hamburg Hauptbahnhof looking at the north end, opposite of what you saw from the previous day. 3) We rode to Ahrensburg. Ahrensburg is roughly 30 kilometers northeast of Hamburg on the line to Lübeck. Date: 06/24/16 21:07 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: tq-07fan 4-6) Rode back being pushed by 112181. It gave me a chance to look at the European coupling system throgh the window in the end of the coach.

12) In the Hbf an RE 7 to Flensburg. The RE-7 goes past Pinneburg which our pass would still be valid to but there aren't many trains that stop there. See the previous thread for the quick trip to Harburg and back Date: 06/24/16 21:12 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: tq-07fan 13) Upon return from Harburg I took this going up the escalator.
14-15) Hamburg Hochbahn at Rathaus. Date: 06/24/16 21:13 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: tq-07fan Bill and I walked with Lars to the car while Paul waited, We took a few pictures of the Hochbahn on the way.
16-18) Hamburg Hochbahn going up and down the ramp at Mönkedamm. Date: 06/24/16 21:24 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: tq-07fan We stopped at a Rewe at the former Krohnskamp car house. They had an ex Hamburg tram outside that had been at a museum in Hanover. After so minor vandalism it has been put inside in the parking garage at the Rewe so although this shot is no longer possible it should also prohibit any more vandalism to the car.
This is the final picture from Hamburg. The next series of pictures will deal with Poland but it may be a dew days before i get motivated enough to put those on here. Anyways I hope everyone enjoyed Hamburg as much as I did. It took a bus convention in London to get me to go across the Ocean the first time and the conversion to liking, no loving European trains was quick and painless. If you have ever thought about going to Europe to see what railroading is like outside the US and Canada I strongly suggest a visit to Hamburg. A hint about railroading in Europe though, you may just find it too intense! Thank you for Looking! Jim Date: 06/24/16 21:45 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: NH2006 great set! Thanks!

Thank you Charlie Date: 06/25/16 20:55 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: norm1153 Your ex-Hamburg tram has a sister, #3557 in San Francisco. Here is a link to a very short video from 1983. Please scroll down to the third video clip on that page:
http://www.pccstreetcar.com/index7.html If you're interested. It's definitely a short video; just for the record, I guess. It probably takes me nearly as long to properly view all your photographs, as it took you to post them, maybe more! Thanks for all the photos and detailed comments, Norm Edited 2 time(s).

Date: 07/01/16 09:16 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: tq-07fan Yes 55002, except the Minatur Wonderland version has no windows!
I am glad that everyone liked the entire Hamburg series. Hamburg certainly is a place that I will have to revisit in several years whenever I go back to Europe. Jim Date: 07/09/16 04:36 Re: Hamburg Wrap Up Friday April 29 2016 Author: 55002 Jim - thanks for all the uploads. I was in Hamburg last year, visiting Miniature and quite sometime at Harburg for the freight. Must go back. This year it was Belrlin. Chris uk.
