Narrow Gauge Railways: There is hardly a railway enthusiast or local history lover whose face doesn't light up with a delighted smile at the mention of this term! A key figure in our current knowledge about narrow gauge railways in West Germany is Gerd Wolff. Born in 1935 in the Barmen district of Wuppertal, this railwayman and railway enthusiast has been researching German narrow gauge and private railways for more than six decades. This book now presents for the first time both his persona and the stories surrounding his visits to narrow gauge railways: What memories does he associate with visiting individual narrow gauge lines? Which narrow gauge railway did he explore first? Who accompanied him on his excursions? Which narrow gauge railways does he feel particularly drawn to? Where did he have rather negative experiences?.
