I have waited almost two years since starting to rebuild Pottendorf to capture this image.
Other than the station, the
other major railway building is the locoshed and its associated facilities. As Pottendorf is lacking
a prototype, a simple single road wooden shed was rebuilt from a very old Pola kit
The locoshed has a small coaling stage and corrugated iron flammable store.
Details such as a water tap outside the locoshed
The water crane is a Spitzner type, copied from the example that once stood at Kempten, Bad Neustadt and similar to the one at Miltenberg
98 812 receives water in the morning at Bad Neustadt station to be prepared for the next (return) trip to Königshofen, on 01.07.1968.
Some inspiration was gatherered from the old loco shed at Kößlarn as that
branchline shared many features with other Bayerische nebenbahnen. The
loco shed was at the opposite end of the station yard and was surrounded
on three sides by long grass, it still survives despite being abandoned
by the DB.
