A couple more photos of the ET plant in Thale, Germany.

A colour wartime photo of the plant

The plant today

The circled red areas are all that is left of the old factory complex.

The remainder was damaged by bombing or demolished in the 1960's. The buildings in the lower front include the main administration building & the Ironworks museum ( should be a few helmets there! )

The buildings in the distance are THALETEC, a company made up from the former Ironworks that makes brewing and chemical vats and heat exchangers

Cheers, Dan

While we are on Thale & the ET plant, here are some cool photos of the railway shunting yard, found ( oddly enough ) on a railway enthusiasts site!!!!

Enjoy!
