Yes HJ and I apoligize for the error . I do not have a RhB coach yet , so I used what I do have here now . Which to a real modeler , is exatly the same to what I feel when I see some one with a wooden car with truss rods behind a modern diesel , yuk ! But I do realize that the cars are incorrect , as are the catenary poles , the rail , and the ties , and the live plants , But , the air is a exat copy of Swiss air , and the tempreture is dropping here , so that it will be cooler . I say this with all respect and in good humor only HJ . What very little I do know about the RhB , is because of all the information you provide to RhB modelers worldwide , thank you . Most of the time I am not wearing my glassses when outside running my trains , and 40 feet + away at the other end of the layout ..........they look ok to me . I have too many of these Zillertal coaches , wish I could just letter them RhB .
I don't see why you couldn't letter them RhB, only a matter of time - short time - to get the passenger, baggage and postal lettering ready. ;) :)

Now that play at Swiss air (Swissair?), that just doesn’t fly, but neither does Swissair - they went bust big time!

Oh on those cars, paint them green or green/cream, it will fool most of the people. :wink: :slight_smile: Exact shade of green coming up when the baggage project gets to the painting stage.

Thanks , I hope the shade of green is paint available here …the lettering sets are available where ? And from today , the 2 cars I do have lettered RhB …and cars of matching color …

[img/] I am having fun

The catenary is now powered and operations of electric trains powered from the overhead wire is energized .
I am enjoying operating 2 trains on the same track performing meets at sideings and other operations , useing a AC TE controlling the rail powered locos , and another AC TE controlling the catenary powered locos .
Its very easy with the LGB eloks that have the switch in the cab for selecting either track power or cat power .
I am really having fun !

Whoa, whoa, whoa Dennis! That sounds good, but........ running LGB with Aristo equipment! Sheesh!

Now you need to wait til the first frost and then watch the sparks off the cat. One of my fondest memories from Celerina, watching a 200 series roll by on a cold winter night with the hoar frost playing “sparky the light man”. :wink:

I imagne that was a sight to remember watching the sparks !

I am lucky for the fact that I live far enough away from the large citys , that I can use / operate , AC , USA , Bachmann , LGB , Hartland , AMS , Accucraft , products together , and get by with it . :wink:

Dennis,

When you get “hit” with the RhB bug at age 7 it tends to be a lifelong “affliction”. :wink: :slight_smile:
