A miserable (cell phone) photo quality, a miserable photo location - but when was the last time a passenger train ran with an SBB Re 6/6?*
For this reason I dare to show this picture here: the SBB Re 6/6 11622 (Re 620 022-4) "Suhr" leaves Lausanne with the traditional New Year's Eve train of "L'Association 141 R 568" in the direction of Bern and as you can see the train at the front is the noble "Dining Car" 2749"
*To my amazement the answer should be: 12/15/24!

On 29 December 2024 EFZ 52 7596 enters Hausach with a special train. This train is deployed traditionally each year by EFZ between St.Georgen and Triberg -but since both stations are way to small and cramped to gibve the loco fresh water and to stable the train set for two hours, the second train naturally is lengthened to Hausach, where there is obviously enough space to refresh the loco and stable the train set -and giving paying passengers an extra ride!

On 4 January 2025 the Sun starts setting above Lage zwaluwe when RFO 6702 was seen there. This loco used to be an NMBS/SNCB HLD Class 62/63 and became ACTS 6702 when sold to that now defunct Dutch private railway operator. LOCON Benelux had this loco in an orange-white outfirt, but collapsed on her turn. RFO took some contracts and half of the loco fleet from LOCON and decided to apply her own two-tone grey colour scheme on this loco albeit with the darker grey outlined in NMBS 1970s style.

The Mallet steam locomotive 2-8-8-2 - Y6b 2197 of the Norfolk & Western, which is powerful even in H0, fights its way through the snow. The design of the Mallet model locomotives is based on information provided by the U.S.R.A. (United States Raitroad Administration) introduced during the First World War. The class Y6b locomotives were delivered from 1936. Basically, the Y6b class was designed to pull heavy freight trains at 30 mph, but in good conditions up to 50 mph could be achieved.
The model of this articulated locomotive type Mallet “Y 6 b” from the “Norfolk & Western” is probably a good 50 to 60 years old and is a very impressive model implementation in terms of size. It doesn't seem entirely logical to me why the engine was squeezed into the driver's cab with so much space in order to then drive the distant "bogies" using long cardan shafts. The tender is prototypically equipped with two three-axle "Buckeye" bogies, which are also used to collect power.
The model probably hasn't been driven for a good twenty to thirty years. After I dismantled the model and degreased and re-oiled the moving parts, it has been running again since yesterday, even if I have both the cars and the route for the discontinuation of the mighty model missing.

Of course, I also photographed the RABe 501 "Giruno", which has since become dominant on the Gotthard axis; No matter how dominant they may be, they are not an everyday occurrence on the "Gotthard Panorama Route": As a result of planned maintenance work in the Gotthard Base Tunnel, most IC/EC will run from Monday to Friday from January 13th to January 24th, 2025 via Göschenen - Airolo . After the sun disappeared behind the mountains in Airolo at midday, things turned out well in Göschenen from midday onwards. The picture was taken near the Göschenen entrance signal and shows the two SBB RABe 501 016 "Glarus" at the front and 501 008 "Monte Ceneri" at the end as IC 21 10671 on the journey from Basel SBB to Lugano.

How times change: a few years ago I would have turned up my nose and not photographed the ICN passing through Airolo, today I am happy that I can photograph an ICN between all the "Giruno" trains: The SBB RABe 500 006 " Johanna Spyri" as IC 2 10865 on the way from Zurich HB to Lugano passes the highlight of its journey in Airolo and is now heading through the Leventina towards its destination drive.

Six of these locos were leased by CFL Cargo to plug in the gap that threatened to come with the demise of Classes 800, 850 and 900 in anticipation of newer Diesel locos. Class ME 26 were the less-than-succesfull Norwegian NSB Class Di.6, twelve of which were delivered to NSB in 1998. After two years of constant failures NSB revoked the contract with the builder, Siemens, and received their moneys back. Siemens immideatelt decided to sell her Diesel locomotive production capacities to MaK after the Norwegian debacle.

Former SNCB 8040, now SCM 260.040 stands at Maldegem during the SCM's annual Steam Weekend on 6 May 2023. Between 1960 and 1963, SNCB received 69 locos of this type and numbered them into the 260 series -at the same time Deutsche Bundesbahn numbered the same type into Class V 60. After 1968 DB pressed a new number system into service, turning Class V 60 into 260 and quickly after that into 360. About the same time, in 1971, SNCB got a new four digit number system, where the Class numbers 260.0 were abandoned in favour of Class 80 (8001-8069). Note that Class 260/80 differs clearly from other shunter Classes 83-85 but look quite similar to Classes 73 and 82, the more powerful versions of Class 80.
