So what do we think about the Egger-bahn articles I 009 News?
Should I do some more in-detail articles about the various Egger-bahn items or not?
Do people find them interesting or are they a waste of space in the news?
It is a bit difficult for me to judge as it is an interest of mine, but probably few others care very much if a wagon has a car on it with black or grey tyres!
I have already written one about the tanker wagons that only needs me to take some photos and I have made a start on another about the box vans, I could do others about the open wagons, the livestock wagon and the ballast wagon. (The last two would be a bit short!) But that would be about it for the locos and rolling stock. However, if there is anything else in the range that you would like me to cover please do let me know. That is apart from the track that is way too complex to detail and I have not got enough examples to illustrate an article about the track anyway as I do not collect the track!
I find them interesting and think it is a valuable resource, though I'm not a collector.
Keep going Brian for as long as you have Egger-bahn rolling stock to write about. Much appreciated and a great resource for all.

Yes keep going Brian. I did not know much about Egger Bahn till I read about it here. I got the latest issue of the 009 magazine a few days back and will catch up on your article. But yes, do continue.

Brian,
Please, absolutely continue. It's only a pity that we won't also be able to read about the track.
Looking forward to future chapters.
Sincerely,
Tom
Yes, please continue, Brian. With each article, I discover rolling stock that I didn't know existed.

I don't collect Eggerbahn, just have some of their products in the box, like most of my age who came into this all those years ago, but I have always found your articles very interesting, likewise the series you did on the Roco locos.
Please keep up the good work!
Mick

Just to give you an idea of what would be involved with the Egger-bahn track here are a couple of links to Rudd's web site that has two web pages of photos of the many versions of the Egger-bahn track, including the narrow sleepers, wide sleepers, nikle silver or steel track as well as many variations of the points:

I have never bothered with the track, boxes or sets, but over the years I have gained examples of most of the boxes, some track and a few of the sets. The boxes are a good way to store the Egger wagons and coaches. I have a method for restoring the clear pastic and removing most of the scratches on the outside.
From the above response I will take the photos needed in the next few days and send in the article about the Egger-bahn tankers.
I certainly learn a lot from them which can help when buying on eBay, so thanks for doing them
I vote to keep doing them so there's a complete set !
I am just going through the photos for the Egger tank wagon article now.
The text is writen for the article. I just need to add the captions for the photos.
