cornish trains jez Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Morning all,  I stumbled across this video last night which shows some nice footage of Swiss trains in 1990. There’s about half a dozen or so that have been uploaded in the last 48hrs (at least 3 hours of footage in total!) plus also if you go to the channel, there’s a whole host of videos from a similar era.  Hers the one I watched, well worth putting the kettle on beforehand as you’ll want a nice cuppa while watching these!  Enjoy folks!  Best regards,  Jeremy  4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 5944 Posted February 22 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 22 https://youtube.com/@arnoldsiegrist1887?si=Fktjgr1kIYLT93Yi  There are some fantastic videos on there. Not just Swiss, but German and Italian too. It's a shame he hasn't uploaded any for a year though. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish trains jez Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Evening all,  Spent a nice half hour watching this. Plenty of classic traction and also pairs of re460’s on some of the freights! Enjoy!   Best regards,  Jeremy 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the DVD of the Gotthard North journey aboard the Grey Mouse.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the DVD of the Gotthard North journey aboard the Grey Mouse. Made by Chris Harnett & Sue Knight (ex BBC IIRC) MITV closed down voluntarily in 2018 after being virtually dormant for some time, but the content must have been acquired by someone else as the videos are still avaiable to buy on the Swiss Railways Society website: (That's where the sampler is from) https://swissrailsoc.org.uk/product-category/dvds/mitv/ Edited July 1 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish trains jez Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Evening all,  Just spent the best part of an hour watching this little gem of a video. It’s pretty much 100% loco haul heaven. Interesting service at 7:08, an Re6/6 with almost exclusively SNCF stock. If anyone can identify the service it would be much appreciated. Another one to add to the Gelternau roster on my layout if I can hold of all the rolling stock.   Best regards,  Jeremy 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the stock seems to feature older couchette vehicles rather than the Corails on Gerberro though.  Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only slight downer would be having to split three sets (Piko 94313 and 94328, which don't seem to be available new, and Arnold HN4405) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 How about this one? I normally find Swiss narrow gauge a bit twee but street running freight is something else!   4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got to admit that the ageing man in me preferred the Arosa branch as a rather quaint DC branch with railcars for traction - including for freight. But at least the current motive power makes it easier to model. Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish trains jez Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Evening folks.  If like me you enjoy cab rides, then this channel is one of my favourites. Worth checking out. Great for spotting buildings to model and seeing the infrastructure up close from the cab. Plus nice and relaxing runs through the beautiful Swiss countryside.    Best regards,  Jeremy  2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
