Hi Luke. Thanks for posting these pics. I gather this is meter gauge like most of the other Swiss lines? And you say used original 1913 equipment till the late 1990s, so are those cars them? We’ve only been there twice, but we found Switzerland to be absolutely the cleanest country we’ve ever been in. Spotless cities and even the farm fields seem manicured. Add in the mountain scenery, steamboats on the lakes and bustling narrow gauge train networks, and the sum total is spectacular. But beware that things are pretty pricey.

Cheers,
Ralph
