So few fine days, so much rolling stock to operate...

I thought you all might like to see something of last weekend's Viafier Engiadina operations circa 1914 before rain stopped play.

It took you 98 years before you posted these great pictures?

Very nice....
 
Mike - That's very kind! Not wholly convinced as to whether the Bernina motor coaches should be run with a rake of 6-wheelers, but they look OK and, what the heck, rule 8 applies anyway.

FYI, these are probably the last few shots before Scuol - the main OHLE station - is relaid with R3 curves*; the original layout has been down over 30 years now and dates from a time when R3 points were (a) expensive and (b) I didn't trust LGB point motors out of doors. Now it will be TL45 R3 points albeit with some loss of loop length - a small price to pay for realism and easier running?

*As Notwork Rail would say, it's in CP5!
