So sorry to hear that.
I had a great ride on the Molli back in 2002. 
What a classic little railroad.

Looking at the picture, it's looks like what we call here in North America an RV (Recrational Vehicle).

Same here, even better when they're towing a boat!

My father's side of the family was from near there in Marlow.

The loco clearly won. How stupid was the driver of the camper? Those engines make lots of noise and whistle at all crossings. Agree with Bob. Great little operation that in my view qualifies as real working steam, not just tourist service.

Undoubtedly, it runs all year round and fares are integrated with bus and mainline rail around the Rostock region.
