Having spent some time in Switzerland, I can tell you that the old joke about the Swiss INVENTING the Alps so they'd have someplace to run their trains is absolutely true. Pretty spectacular railroading over there.

I've had this model since I was 9 years old.. It is so massive that it vibrated things to the point where it shook the details off of stuff when I used to run it on the layout.Guy
Guy--
You too? I slapped a Kadee on one end of my Crocodile and put it to work on a reefer consist. Little devil hauls like a Mack Truck and sure raises eyebrows when I bring it out. Neat loco. Got a chance to see a real one at one of the museums in Switzerland (Luzern) and they're really kind of massive looking. Handsome devils!
