The Re 6/6 is a beautiful loco, (especially in olive green). Shame they got relegated to freight work.
This is the new cool kid on the block…very impressive: EURODUAL locomotive | Stadler

I see one of those every time I go to the office. It brings the refrigerated cars to the COOP warehouses in Hunzenschwil.
Yes, the first in Swiss service has COOP branding. Germany has a few, and in the UK they are the 99 Class
While I was Down Under, I managed to get my hands on one of these collectors items. Now all I have to do is work out how to get it here…(it weights just on 140kg).

Stick a stamp on it and put it in a letterbox?

I think it almost identifes as a letterbox.
Mechanical and electro-mechanical safeworking items are becoming very collectable. Just the electric staffs (the sticks that go in these machines) fetch an average of 300GBP each at auction these days.
Now that hardly any traffic goes over the original Gotthard route, the church at Wassen has lost some of its significance. I used to spend hours there, photographing trains.

Nice! Although those locos don’t look very Swiss..possibly a couple of German BR 01s?
Noooo, we already have plans for the weekend. I just learned that there’s a steam tram in Bern.
Public rides next Sunday June 28 from 13h00 to 17h00

how cute!
One thing I need to make time for next year is the Dresdener Steam festival. The DR definitely knew how to put together a great freight loco.
