Reflections from the bottom of a beer glass
While having glass of beer the other night, I was pouring over different areas of Switzerland to visit next year, and which railway journeys I could do within the time frame without boring my good lady, and letting the little one splash around in the pool. I think a Eurocamp (other mobile home holiday companies are available) holiday next year will tick the majority of the boxes for us as a family.
This led me on to the my proposed layout, and the small amount of stock available to me. Usually, when starting a layout and I think a lot of us are guilty of buying more stock than we actually need. So I did start wish listing for more stock from Kato, my list is as follows:
i) GE 4/4 II with normal RhB stock (they probably have a name but I don't know it yet)
The loco provides a number of livery options
ii) GE 6/6 I Krok with Alpine Pullman Coaches
This would make a lovely set.
iii) Good stock suitable (Again they all probably have names, but I don't them yet)
The RhB is used a lot for freight.
iv) ABe 8/12 Allegra unit in "Arosa" blue livery
Possibly already on the cards.
v) Moving away from the RhB, a MOB Golden Pass set
I just love the livery. The loco is there, some of the coaches are there, just the end panoramic coaches to produce. (I'm sure someone will tell me they are a lot different)
I am also hoping for more liveries of the GE 4/4 III, I'd love the HC Davos version in particular.
I'm loving my on-line research at the moment, but I would like some reading material, and I wondered if there was a sort of "Swiss Metre Gauge Railways for Dummies" book.
I have some hardboard ready for cutting, just awaiting for someone to pay me for some items on eBay so I can buy the APA boxes.
There may be more reflections to come before work really begins, but I'm eager to get cracking.
