Germany: Mosel Valley and Horb, 28th to 30th August 1971

A trip involving a 2 night stay at the Gasthaus Zum Konig right by the railway in Bullay. The idea being to spend some time photographing as well as timing trains in the Mosel Valley before moving down to see the 038 4-6-0 locos at Horb. But, with the exception of a few sunny spells, the weather was quite poor! And it looks like the processing of the film was not brilliant as the results are a bit more grainy than others I took at that time. But I do have the images still, and they now follow below.
