    Evening All,

    If anyone is interested to have a look, I have put some Swiss preservation pictures on my Flickr site today. They're in the 'Stop Press!' collection for new pictures in the Set dated 26th August :

    They'll be there for about a month, but they can also be found in the 'European Railways' collection in the Sets 'Switzerland 2008' and 'Switzerland 2011' : http://www.flickr.com/photos/train-pix/collections/72157626340231970/

    Although I went there in 1967 before it opened, I haven't been back since. It's on my 'to do' list, though.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    It's worth doing. I've been there a couple of times now.

    So long as you're clear of the running lines, no one in Switzerland cares where you walk!
