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)

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.

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)! :scratchhead:

Or should that be 1-B-1-B-1+1-B-1-B-1? or 1-Bo-1 etc!

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.

Some more photos from Arth Goldau today. As I was staying a few yards from the station it is hardly surprising I took a lot of photos there.

Some Rhätische Bahn photos this afternoon, taken at Klosters and Klosters Dorf.

 

I often take photos without trains in them, details of infrastructure are always useful when making models.

A few more photos from Gurtnellen, situated on the north ramp of the Gotthard.

 

You will probably remember that the new concrete etc shows the repair work after the 1987 floods.

Back on the RhB again today, with some rather more "scenic" shots of the line, taken from the train.  

 

Sorry about the colours in some of them.
