Swiss Heavy Metal

I get a namecheck from Electric Nose, who's talking DCCs and Ae8/8s. Magnificent beasts. It's a pity I didn't take more photos of them when they were in general service.

By the time of my most recent visit to Switzerland, only a single survivor was still working, on spoil trains for the Lötchberg base tunnel.

They will long continue to run in model form, by Roco in HO, and by Kato in N.

Ahem. I have an HO version from HAG, about 25 years old, in my display case.

I'd forgotten HAG, but then since I'm into N I don't always keep track of who makes what in HO.
