Featured Postcards

Greetings Postcard Pals. Below are some of the standout postcards I have received from my generous postcard friends.

I've also included some I've sent myself from significant or interesting locations or just bought for fun. All my postcards are uploaded to my Flickr.

You'll see I also enjoy fancy stamps too. Want to trade? Read on.

Deutsche Reichsbahn locomotive 01 1102

Fast, WWII-era locomotive of the German Railways. This example is one of the few survivors of these magnificent 100mph locomotives.
The image is from 1997, soon after its restoration but according to Wikipedia, this train is now lying idle. Thank you Ralf.

Tram, Bus and Rail postcards

One of my preferred themes. I think public transport postcards offer a window into daily life and urban development. Let's swap.
Postcards with exquisite matching stamps get a gold medal! Thanks Sabine
