Either would make a good model and the variety of stock which you see on that line is brilliant. I remember a very good model of Darlingen in N gauge in the press a few years ago. And of course the station building is available as a kit if you are thinking of HO (Kibri I think?) Cheers David

Thanks Scott, It is the first track I have laid in 5 years. Got back in the way of it though. The fishplates for the Code 75 bullhead are tiny,not much bigger than n gauge ones. I dont think my eyesight is as good as it was 5 years ago! As you say good to get going Cheers David

Hi Joseph, yes I have so no worries there!
-
Managed to get a few hours on the layout and have started tracklaying at last! It is slow progress but at least something is happening
-
I will go with Clayton Class 17
-
Something a bit different this morning. This is the funicular at the Geissbach hotel on Lake Brienz
-
Look up glasspebbles.co.uk. They do sand in 70 different colours Cheers David

It does not bear too much thinking just how long ago 1988/90 was. Half a lifetime ago, and it seems to have gone in a flash. I wish I had changed as little as this view has!!

And finally, for today at least, the Glacier view Legend referred to earlier ,from the Top of Europe.

Here a selection of photos of the BLM. The railway part of this system must be the flatest metre gauge mountain railway in Switzerland. I have often thought that Murren would make good micro layout. The downside is the lack of variety of stock. If you are not too fussed about allowing interlopers to appear it would make a good wee layout. I had thought at one stage that a version in Om using Fama/UTZ/Roco Alpineline would be good. I still have some stock which could be kitbashed into shape. Who knows, a future project perhaps

I love this era of Swiss Railways though I did not see it in person. My first trip to Switzerland was in 1986, when I was lucky enough to go on the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz. I was though to see a heritage train on the mainline at Spiez a couple of years ago. The coaches were either green or deep red (all shiny clean). Quite a sight.

I would be tempted to vote for the Deltic on the Alcan traffic in 2011! But ok you said Freight only so will go cl 58
-
I dont think I ever photographed it Did find a picture of it in a book (photo credited to A Seiler)
-
HS4000 Kestrel, just so something else features in this poll
-
Not much progress on the layout this week. Some of you will know I have been off to Switzerland - only on this Forum obviously, but going through my old Swiss photos has almost felt like a holiday. Hope everyone is staying well. Time for me to start tracklaying

This book has a good general history
-
Here a few pictures of freight stock on the WAB
-
Correction! The photo is dated 2009
-
Here is one very shiny loco, I think recently outshopped in zb livery. The photo is dated 2010.

These ones are much more trains in the landscape than most of the others

We should finish off this diesel vote with the early prototypes, could include Lion, Falcon, DP2, Deltic, Fell, amongst others,and Clive could vote for the LMS twins again!
-
Class 47, specifically the shove duff kind in Scotrail livery
-
Not trains at all, though this is at Grindelwald station. Taken in Sept 2013, I am sure it will be of interest to some of you
-
Dave, Still looking through the pictures of BOB coaches, have not found a composite yet, just first and second class. They will be there though! In the meantime, I found this, I am not sure it is one of mine to be fair

Class 37/4 for me
