Arnstadt depot is home to a large number of Reichsbahn steam locomotives. We breathe life into the locomotives and, with the help of our locomotive crews in DR uniforms, recreate everyday situations in Arnstadt depot during the Reichsbahn era - all locomotives are signposted in DR era 4.
As a special highlight, the "Wumme" will perform shunting maneuvers against the backdrop of the steamers. Meanwhile, depot staff will be busy greasing the locomotives and working on the engines. Photo and film opportunities galore. In the evening we breathe life into the steam locomotives with our pyrotechnics, so that the illusion of a depot in the Reichsbahn era is perfect.
Night shots on the turntable round off our action. Expected duration from 14 - 22 o'clock.

Thanks to the museum association, an authentically reconstructed depot ensemble with the complete infrastructure of a typical Reichsbahn depot has been created on the site of the old GR depot. The depot is home to a number of interesting GR steam locomotives, such as 44 0093, 38 1182, 94 1292, 91 6580, 89 6311, 65 1049, 50 3688 and 01 1531, as well as 131 072, 120 274, 118 749 and 118 505 in the diesel section.
Here we want to recreate the once everyday scenes in the depot from the early afternoon until the evening hours. With the locomotives of the museum depot and the "Wumme" in operation, we will be able to take pictures in and in front of the shed, on the turntable, during coaling, collecting water, and during rigging and de-rigging.
During the blue hour, the daytime shots change to night-time shots, and here too we imagine scenes at the engine control room and on the turntable. Real railwaymen and extras in Reichsbahn uniforms enliven the pictures with everyday work on and around the locomotive.
The photographic possibilities are almost unlimited! As usual at our events, we limit the maximum number of participants so that everyone can get the pictures they want undisturbed.
