There was also an article on the 125th anniversary in this months CM. It had a croc, some wagons and a church all wrapped in in red. Not quite sure of the significance. It also had pictures of some of the stuff David mentioned.
125 years of The Gotthard Bahn
We picked up a copy of this new production from Reos and have just finished watching it. The reason for posting about is that it contains a lot of footage of the double headed steam special which was run to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Gotthard line. The locos in question are a 4-6-0 and a 2-10-0.
A couple of other "specials" are also on display - the 6 car "Gottardo"? and one other steam loco hauling what looks like DB stock, so maybe it was a DB loco as well?
There's also a lot of footage of freight trains on the days in question with what looks like a "prototype for anything" nature about it. There are a couple of quad headed freights - imagine the cost of that little lot if you could only get the models from HAG! - and one clip where two locos are hauling a single wagon.
Look out for it the next time you are at a show.
