Simbach , Sessions & too many Possessions!
With 8 Rest Days looming on the horizon and the December 14th Timetable change fast approaching, a trip to the Fatherland to rake in any required track for diesel seemed the only option. As I would be travelling single manned I decided to take it easy & only do overnights every other night and not be as desperate as normal! To this end I obtained as much brewery gen as I could gather for the areas I would be visiting and off I set for the airport. As usual, # indicates a required loco. All moves in KM’s (except in UK indicated m for miles).
