  1. This is the plan of Interlaken Ost I was building. It is a good starting point if anyone fancies having a go and their double garage is going spare.
  2. Congratulations on the 4000 posts, quite a journey. Cheers David
  3. We should start with favourite pre grouping carriage
  4. Some very interesting cars on this thread. I was lucky enough to own this for nine years, til it formed part of the divorce settlement!
  5. Lots of old and to my mind good looking ships on this thread but here is something newer. This is Prince of Wales making its maiden port call at Invergordon
  6. Chris, We are so fortunate your Dad was using such a good quality camera. These prints are pin sharp. I have photos I took in the seventies and eighties that would leave you to think we must have lived in a world of fog and faded colour! David
  7. Brilliant Chris, There is something very compelling about these older photos. I am pretty sure that particular railcar did fairly recently carry a logo on it detailing how many miles it had done. Thanks for posting Cheers David
  8. A couple of Brunigbahn/Zb pictures
  9. These are lovely photos Thanks for posting. I am very familiar with the RhB. For 15 years before I discovered Wengen my holiday of choice was to St Moritz. The trip on the Bernina is a real treat as is the Glacier Express. I have been lucky enough to do both a number of times though not recently. Cheers David
  10. Chris, These are brilliant David
  11. One of my other passions was this. Now sadly gone! My only regret is I never took it to Switzerland.
  12. Not trains but ships, but railway owned nonetheless, all part of the BLS ship fleet plying the two lakes at Interlaken. Blumisalp plies her trade on Lake Thun, the others on Lake Brienz.
  13. Like other Swiss Railways, the WAB did succumb to advertising liveries on some of its stock, not extensively though. The first example I saw of this was advertising the 2008 European Football Championship, which was held in Austria and Switzerland that year. These are two more current examples. "Samsung" at Kleine Scheidegg and "Tissot" at Wengen both in 2013.
  14. Congratulations on the 1000 pages and over 25000 replies. Truly inspirational thread, and the daily photos of the model are superb. Cheers David
  15. A4 for the best. And that strange thing they did to the Schools class is the worst.
  16. Two of my passions in life are trains , obviously, and skiing. That is why we bought the house in Wengen. So the attached has everything! (And the tent is a bar) What's not to like!
  17. I did eventually get my eye in. It does look good track, but as you say, very delicate. Hopefully I will get more done this weekend Cheers David
