There's something about steam! This weekend was the International Steam Meeting at the Ysebaenhli am Rhy, Pratteln, near Basel. 5" and 7 1/4" gauge. Lots going on, but the only British interest was a lonesome 52 Class 37 in BR blue! Here are a couple of photos I took at my Company's Summer Grill Party about a month ago:
The Shay was not running, but you can see something similar on the U-tube clip - wonderful.

And since we are on the subject of steam, the Gauge 1 club at Witterswil had their international "Bahndammfest" (Embankment fête) earlier in the month. Mostly Aster, but some hand built. Guess what this is going to be:
This is one of three hand built SE&CR 4-4-0s.
Three Swiss guys built them, then drew straws on who should get what. They were at York to take the dimensions of the cab fittings, and yes, there is a billy can brewing up a cuppa in the cab. Next to the oil can! It runs as sweetly as it looks.
