Hello Stefan,

Greetings Armin

Thank you Armin for your comment, the B-C (Blonay-Chamby)trains run every weekend from the middle of Mai to the end of October.

As already mentioned in other pictures of the Dm 2/2 No. 3 "Biniou" from Brittany, the draisine can be turned independently of location or even removed from the track to allow, for example, scheduled trains to pass. While for "removing it from the track" a suitable place to park the Biniou must probably be available, turning it proves to be much easier, but as the following pictures show, every move must be precise and turning requires quite a bit of skill and strength. Here the "turntable" of the Biniou is being set up. All parts are carried on the Dm 2/2 No. 3. The picture was taken on the open track of the Blonay-Chamby Railway near Chantemele.

The "turntable" carried on the Dm 2/2 No. 3 is set up, and now the Biniou can carefully drive onto the turntable. September 8, 2024 

The most difficult part: The rotation of the Dm 2/2 No. 3. Since the rotation of the "turntable" takes place on a ball bearing, physical effort is required not only for the actual turning but also to ensure that the Biniou remains more or less horizontal. The pictures show how strenuous the rotation of the small, but not exactly lightweight, Dm 2/2 is. At this point, a big THANK YOU for the demonstration that the Blonay Chamby Railway provided here with the Dm 2/2 No. 3! September 7, 2024 

Done! Now the Binou just has to drive from the "turntable" onto the track. September 8, 2024 
