    Now that I have trawled through and posted all these photos I want to model Interlaken Ost! For the same reasons I started the model previously I suppose. Mustn't be distracted from Glasgow Queen Street for now though!

    The Swiss have always been good with luggage. I dont know if they still do it but I do remember using the luggage transit service. Check in your bags at your UK airport and forget about them. They are delivered to your room at your hotel at the other end. The same on the way back.and this works even when your Swiss transit involves a number of trains and a bus or two. Absolutely brilliant and if I remember right it cost about 10 francs

    The main station building

    These are all of the BOB part of the station. The sidings and trackwork on this side of the station was rationalized in the last 10 years or so with run round loops removed and the number of sidings reduced.

    Part 3 This house lies between the station and the river at the West end. The last picture is a Kibri kit which looks a reasonable match for it

    Keith, I had forgotten about that. I last visited it 2007, it closed a year or two after that. There is some footage of it on YouTube. No idea where it ended up

    To start our photo survey of Interlaken Ost, these are all of the west end of the station

    For some reason the Swiss are thought not have a sense of humour. Many of you will know that is far from the truth. To illustrate here is a picture of the roundabout in Thun the purpose of which was to promote a production of Titanic which was playing on Lake Thun that summer

    Happy days! I have done skidoos in Meribel, sledging in Wengen and dog sledding in Canada.All wonderful. My ex was a timid skier but a demon sledger. I steered a sledge by digging one or other foot in the snow, which changes your direction but also slows you down. She steered by leaning back and shifting her weight. Answer steering and more speed!

    Could not agree more. And you have SBB mainline, DB ICE, French TGV Lyria

    The car behind the Bedford van is a 1964 Vauxhall Victor, the same as my Dad's first car. His was white all over so a repaint required.

    Well the Great Western narrowed its gauge. Maybe you could do the same! Seriously though, I think having a mixed gauge layout is great. You have standard and metre gauge stock side by side. All adds to the variety
