Re: Holiday by Train in Europe - pics 5-1

I was invited to visit the 600mm gauge Schinznacher Baumschulbahn while I was in Switzerland, it had been on my list of 'possibles' but trying work out how to get there had caused it to be dropped initially, which is near Zurich - armed with instructions (including the number of the bus to catch) it didn't require a start at oh gawd double oh. I had to change trains at Lausanne and Bern, to reach the bus at Brugg.This runs round a garden centre.



The first locomotive I saw was this one, 'Abelia', built by Lowa Lokbau Karl Marx, Babelsberg but as the website is all in German I haven't been able to discover any more....



Next was this: 'Paeonia', built by Ruhrthaler (Schwarz & Dyckerhoff KG of Mulheim-Ruhr)..



V10C 250 514, haven't been able to work anything about it..



I was able to have a footplate ride on Sequoia (ex Ty3-194) built 13585/ 1944, Maschinenbau und Bahnbedarf AG in Babelsberg - bought from Poland in the 1970's - Urias was driving
