Good Afternoon! I am feeling pretty miserable today. My BP went into the basement and decided to stay there until further notice. The crazy thing is that my heart rate went over the roof and also has no intention to come down. If things don´t improve soon, it´ll mean a trip to the ER. YGW - how about Switzerland for the month? There is plenty to see, as this country must be the Lord´s train set (no blasphemy intended). [quote user="submmbob"]Ulrich - talk about an elevated railroad! What a neat system![/quote] It´s been around for 115 years to this date and is still going strong. It is certainly one of the safest mode of transportation. The line's only fatal accident occurred close to Robert-Daum-Platz station during maintenance work in the early morning hours of 12 April 1999. Workers had forgotten to remove a metal claw from the track on completion of scheduled night work. The first eastbound train of the day hit the claw at a speed of around 50 km/h (31 mph), derailed, and fell about 10 metres (33 ft) into the river Wupper, killing 5 passengers and leaving 49 injured. Lutz Hielscher of Germany makes an nice HO scale  and a N scale set of it, unfortunately rather pricey. <a href="http://www.hielscher-dampfmodelle.de/en/categorie/Massstab-H0-187?cat=24">HO scale suspension railway</a> <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/neWW--N93wY" width="425" height="350"></iframe>
