Beginnings

Many years ago we visited the limestone works at Rupprechtstegen near Hersbruck because I saw a picture in a Bufe book of a Deutz werklok captured by Gottfried Turnwald in '64. The locomotive had of course gone but the large building remained, albeit neglected.  



 


Once the works was connected by a long siding from the station yard at Rupprechtstegen. 

The works buildings replaced brickwork kilns built in the 19th century, they were fed from the large quarry to the east by a narrow gauge line that crossed the mainline from Hersbruck.

Maybe a small working diorama could be built around the Vollmer kit 45725 but it is difficult to find information about the location.
