- Sometimes you stumble over things that are too good to be true:
Like this "locomotive graveyard" in Germany.
A private collector has stored almost 100 steam locomotives, cars and parts in a former rail depot (including roundhouse) in
Rundgang durch die Lokomotiv-Sammlung Bernd Falz in Falkenberg/Elster, Brandenburg. Hier sind fast 100 Dampfloks abgestellt. Das Gelände ist das ehemalige Bw Falkenberg oberer Bahnhof und soll irgendwann mal ein Eisenbahnmuseum werden.
Mitte September 2012 war das Gelände ein Wochenende lang geöffnet.
How very different looking from American locomotives! Thank you for posting!
Very enjoyable and lovely to see, often museums are too clean but with this one you can stumble upon something very interesting in the bushes.
David in England.
I wonder how he acquires all this stuff, transports them, etc.? Unless he's fabulously wealthy, there's not much hope these locomotives can be salvaged. His heart is in the right place, but I don't think this collection will move beyond where it is right now. Very interesting the stuff some people are into!
Schaut mal nach Tuttlingen ( Baden-Württemberg ) . Da gibts auch so etwa wie einen Lokfriedhof. Ein Mann kaufte kurz nach der Wende etwa 25 Dampfloks zusammen. Zur Restauration kam es allerdins nicht mehr: Er mußte das zeitliche segnen. Heute hat keiner mehr Interesse, und vor allem: keiner will mehr das Geld für alte Lokomotiven ausgeben; es gibt lukrativeres was man mit Geld machen kann...
Rest in peace Steam Giants.
Ganz große Klasse!
Vielleicht gibts ja für die eine oder andere alte Dampflok noch Hoffnung,
schön dass die tolle 231 Klingondiesellok restauriert wird!
British preservationists would give their eye teeth to get hold of some of these locomotives. What a huge pity that some are being left to rust in the undergrowth. Most will not be beyond restoration, you just have to look at the miracle jobs done on some of our locomotives that were deemed to be of scrap value only. I have worked as a volunteer rebuilding the hopeless cases and some have main line running certificates for steam specials.
What a marvellous chance to put a really great museum together. The Diesels look in good order but the steamers will take longer to sort out even if they are just for exhibition and not in steam. Don't forget the Barry wrecks, some were just shells but lots of them now grace our main lines and heritage lines
Old and rusty but still much more fascinating then all the modern locomotives together. Nice video, thumb up!
Glad he had the foresight to save them.i would have to get one up to steam and use it from time to time...there is still a place for steam if simply because it make you feel good.every railroad should have a steam locomotive to pull a freight train from time to time just for fun .even if they have to wright it off on taxes as advertisement .it inspires greatness and history...😃
Golden Colorado has a train museum with actual runnig Locomotives and a full loop of rails and a working round house.
Been there myself and its a quite varied collection. I find the old wooden rolling stock to be especially interesting.
I totally agree.

nice music! I get sick of negative people!
I wasn't be negative I think this is cool. I was just commenting on my love of Golden Colorado's train museum.
Why does the German government not restore those beautiful old steam trains, and pot them back into service?
Let those old train rise and travel the glory and pride, that they deserve?
Don't like it when some trains get left to rot. It's good that we have some people that care for these old trains. Love trains, long live them!
I see a lot of comments that are negative here. But also view it this way. Around 5:00 he has a round house, which is where the best locos are probably kept. Also this kind of thing takes time for a museum. I hope to hear success, but I would be expecting to wait a while longer. Also, keep in mind some of the so called "Wrecks" that came out of Barry Scrap yard. Those run, and the ones that don't run are still a parts source for the ones that do.
I know of a few engines that were dumped in rivers in the 1920's that have been retrived and restored to operating condition.
These are European locos not British Locomotive so can't have come from Barry's Scrap yard in Wales
Yes, but my point is they are in a similar situation I believe. I use Barry as example of the best that could happen.
O sorry but you are quiet right
..wow awesome!! Amazing....... ...Also what is the music used in the video?
Sehr schön und sehr traurig... Dachte zuerst es wäre hier bei uns in Hermeskeil. Aber da stehen mehr Loks und die sind noch verfallener...
Interessant gemachter Film. Danke für den Einblick!
A lot of German steam locos were built in Esslingen near Stuttgart. Enough steam locos have been restored to their original condition. Every now and then one gets the opportunity to see one in action.
It's sad because on some of those locomotives, the identification is so worn that you can't tell if its a Class 50 or a 52. Please at least move these to a location where they will be protected from the elements!
its former BW Falkenberg oberer Bahnhof in the Provence Brandenburg at Landkreis Elbe-Elster
WOW!!!! That's awesome, thanks for sharing it!
Ja, sehr traurig. Danke für das Video.
They might be parts locomotives that collectors are using to repair others which are in better condition. Otherwise, a local steam club should be told about these so they can see what is worth restoring.
Please attempt to convince the collector to start his own youtube channel showing off his collection and delivering new developments.
Very good posing...thanks !!
Ich kenne den Lokfriedhof in Falkenberg/ Elster, Aber daß dort soviele Maschinen stehen, wußte ich nicht, denn ich konnte nur durch den Zaun schauen...
Wäre schön, wenn die eine oder andere Lok wieder zum Leben erweckt werden könnte...
Wenn ich mich nicht irre, steht dort sogar noch eine Reko- P10 (BR 22 bzw. BR 39)
one proud steam locos siting in decay poor things but a life in a museum don't sound to bad
These need ti be cut for scrap without delay.
I agree they kinda are beyond repair as the cost to even restore the boiler would be in the 100,000s.
Great video! excellent
Nice video.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video, but you should try to avoid youtube stabilisation.
Me encanto el video ! Un ejemplo de preservacion del patrimonio historico !
Why doesn't this Collector at least fix them up or give them to someone or a museum so people can enjoy them. If this guy really cared about these trains he'd let them go. Don't see him doing much with them anyway
Thank You For The Video.. I Would Love To See Something Like This
Unfortunately I don't speak German, but are they going to restore these locomotives to working order
Quite amazing! It's a good job people have the forethought to do this otherwise they would be lost forever.
This is all owned by one collector. To bad he is just letting them waste away. If he has that much money, instead of just buying them and letting them rot. Spend the money on some that are still salvageable.
What's that at 3:15? Snow clearing device?
die in Hermeskeil gehören auch Bernd Falz, oder?
Falkenberg ist sozusagen die "Außenstelle"...
I would be nice to get some of these back to working order for tourist rides!
+heelfan1234 that is such an asinine comment. The trains didn't murder anyone. They are tools of the steam age of transportation.
+heelfan1234 your a troll no videos, nothing of real life. Some of those engines are post war, many are heavy duty engines they wouldn't be used to haul Jews to camps. You have no clue what your speaking about.
bohemianh
Who cares if I have any videos or not? I comment on videos. The fact I don't have any videos dos not make my comments any less valid.
These loco types and in some cases their ancestors would have been used for Jew extermination.
They should be broken into small pieces with shears and cutting torches, and recycled in the furnaces as scrap.
+heelfan1234 watch out the sun will turn you to stone.
bohemianh
What a surreal comment!
Falkenberg/Elster, Germany (see description)
Someone may know is it possible to get inside and take a photos?
it would take a lot of money to get those machines running again
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing discovery and a good video!
Germany has MUCH to be proud of!
The Allies say: No!
is 3:14 a gas turbine snow blower?
IK BEN BLIJ DAT DEZE FRAAIE LOCOMOTIEVEN NIET VERNIETIGD WORDEN!!
Wonderful!
Some of these locomotives look too rusted to be restored
a lot of the locomotives can be used for parts to restore others
Wo ist das?
wunderbares video...zu kurze...:)
has anyone cataloged these engines? does anyone know who built them? what town in Germany? who owns them?
Hermeskal
Heck with a museum send them to me I would restore them and put them back on the tracks.
A place of dreams and times lost.
I almost want to cry... :' (
Here be dragons. I don't suppose these machines have been properly inventoried?
are you able to give the exact location
51° 35' 6,00'' N 13° 16' 21,49'' E
Some salvageable, but overall very little.
The rest is too far gone unfortunately now rusted scrap.
+joe pollard .You should see what some of the British enthusiasts have achieved to bring locos rescued from Barry scrapyard back to life.
Cut it all for scrap now!
rest in peace diesel locomotives
I have a foto of a steam loko setup to heat apartments in Berlin after the war
WOW!
Oh, the twilight zone !!
Don't think of it as a grave yard but a reincarnation center!
how I would love to restore one of those.
Now the watchman has a lot of work ;)
UNS
The Scrapyards!!!!!
Next time no music
Long live for the owner.
niiiccceeeeee!
warum englisch ich dachte das bei frankfurt?
yay a dsb train it comes from copenhagen in denmark were i live
I Will Save All Of This Locomotives And I Will Restore Them And I Will Put Them In A Place Where These Engines Will Be Save
HOL VAN EZ HELYILEG?
in other words the owner is going to do fuck all to these trains and he is just going to let them rust away
C***face by name and nature why not start a GoFundMe to raise money for the locos?
Wish I could bring em back alive 😔
yes, I think so. "Turbine-powered" hahahaha...

Must be east Germany!
As Much as I love steam trains how many of these loco's were used to take people to their deaths in World War 2. I have a sense of death and evil looking at some of these.
***** it is nice to see history but thinking of that makes me feel ill
sandydogy Not many of these engines were used for transporting jewish people to concentration camps. Some of these are post war engines. They probably helped the country repair. It would be great to see some of these masterpieces fixed up.
sandydogy Not many German locos survived the war. Allied pilots targeted the locos before munition cars..according to the vets I have spoken to.
+Patrick Shaffer I agree!
***** Wait, how did heelfan get here?
Beautiful things, Great shame
Bloß nicht restaurieren ! Nur konservieren. Die geleckten Hochglanznostalgiedampfloks sind doch so realitätsfern und langweilig wie ´n Schluck Leitungswasser
dont let cockroach2008 in!
Amen to that!
