    Evening All,

    In 1997 I videoed a steam special on the Gotthard line with SNCF 141R class 141R1244 doing the honours. I've now put the first part of that video on my new YouTube channel and if anyone would like to have a look, here's the link:



    Hope it's of interest.

    I've liked the 141Rs since my first encounter with one in 1964, so I'm very glad that a few have survived.

    Evening All,

    The second part of my Swiss video from 1997 is now on YouTube. Although 141R1244 does appear in it, it's mostly the normal SBB passenger and freight trains going about their day to day business. Having said that, a lot has changed since 1997 so even they have historical interest.

    Here's the link if anyone would like to have a look:



    Hope it's of interest.
