Gryfice NG visited last Saturday and is very much recommended. Easy to reach at the south end but due to the quirky way it operates and not wanting to stay at...
Well its nice to hear that something is still running out there. Gryfice is my home town where I lived before moving to the USA with my parents. I have been...
BranchLineAnon -- interesting info – thanks. Have been fascinated "since way back" by the metre gauge in north-west Poland: in the 80s and 90s, travelled...

Hi, I'm interested in potentially modelling a Polish secondary or branch line railway station. I have searched for old postings about anyone modelling the PKP,...
... Imho it is not so bad now, there are around 100 liveries of goods wagons, and almost 200 of coaches, but only 1 (!) is a Polish construction - most of the...
Thanks for the links. It has helped solve a lot of mysteries for me. In some ways the station layouts are startlingly similar to what we had here in New South...
I suppose it isn't all bad for people modelling Epoch III and later if many of the models are ex-German origin. I believe that the territories of Prussia went...
I was searching the web for photos of PKP locomotives today and I think that Fleischmann's "Black Anna" (Cat. No. 4000) bears a remarkable resemblance to the...
