A regional train like this one then took us on our next venture from Zürich to Visp :

At Visp we changed to a narrower gauge railway with a loco more inclined to handle the gradient :

which then took us to Zermatt :

where we had a nice stay in view of The Matterhorn (just like on your layout, John - Johnvr Smile ) :

Thereafter we embarked on the Glacier Express :

We had taken the Glacier Express trip 40 years ago OhMyGod during which I convinced a railway official Sneaky
to give me this great poster from his wall which has since adorned the wall of my train rooms :

Our coach this time was more comfortable, with a nice degustation meal spread over much of the journey :

As before, the scenery was beautiful :

Very nice pictures - you are both looking well. I imagine the train was much smoother than the one from 40 years ago. Did you manage get given any more posters?

Thanks Adrian.

Indeed very much smoother. The panoramic coaches are also a great improvement.

Keep well,

The funniest thing with Swiss rail is the Zurich airport shuttle train between customs & terminals, is the background sound recording off cows mooing & their bells on the hills.
