Another day of very mixed weather. I intended to start somewhere other than Velka Luka but it seemed to be the only place there was any chance of the sun. Even so, of the eight trains that passed, only one was fully lit. Of the eight, three were freights but only the 751 + 736 combo was anywhere near getting the sun.

The plan had been to move on to the Banska - Brezno line for a couple of hours but the sky looked very black in that direction so I had a look at the Hronska Dubrava - Turcianske Teplice line instead, managing somehow to get a shot of spotless 750.300 in full sun near Turcek. Then it was on to the Prievidza - Nove Zamky line where the afternoon was spent on the deviation between Kos and Novaky, again with some success.

I stayed at the Hotel Preuge again.
