RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2017 it was sometimes the case that DC + AC numbers could be added, it wasn't necessarily always the case. Numbering of several SNCF classes in the same family of locos has worked in that way: 7200 (DC) + 15000 (AC) = 22200 (AC+DC) 9200 (DC) + 16000 (AC) = 25200 (AC+DC) 8500 (DC) + 17000 (AC) = 25500 (AC+DC) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold DaveF Posted February 10, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2017 Photos of Brunnen today, between ArthGoldau and Erstfeld. The Ae8/14 is preserved by SBB, at the time their preserved locos were used about one day a week on service trains to keep them operational. Modellers may find the building photos useful.

eastwestdivide Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) That Ae8/14 - nearly as pretty as a UK class 76! Edited February 10, 2017 by eastwestdivide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted February 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) I always think the way of designating Swiss locos wheel arrangements is complicated, but if we used the UK wheel arrangement the AE8/14 it would be 2-4-2-4-2+2-4-2-4-2 (I think)! Or should that be 1-B-1-B-1+1-B-1-B-1? or 1-Bo-1 etc! Keith Edited February 10, 2017 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted February 14, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 14, 2017 More photos of Olten today. When I was on holiday in Switzerland and travelling around by train, using a Swiss Pass I used to plan my journeys before leaving home. For each day I wrote out the planned itinerary on record cards, together with a note of how to amend them if anything went wrong. I also carried the timetable book with me (it was quite small then). In 1988 I think I did every journey as planned. I normally tried to allow at least an hour at each place I visited.
