A friendly Hello from Switzerland!
 

Hello everybody!
My name is Alex and I'm Swiss.
I'm actually very interested (since the age of 2 ;-)) in all railways,espescially Welsh narrow gauge,Gauge1 modelling and the Great Western Railway.
In my school holydays,I enjoy working on the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway in Porthmadog.My father's driving on the Ffestiniog Railway.
So,that's that.
All the best,
Alex

Hello Alex and welcome to the Railway Forum. I have yet to visit the WHR but I have seen the Garratts working in South Africa. Has your father driven one of them yet?

Thank you for the welcome,yes I think he was driving a Garrat a few years ago,but as far as I know,he still prefers the F.R.s double Fairlies ;-)

Do you intend taking up driving as well, or do your railway intrests rest in some other section of railways. I'm keen on modeling now that my footplate days are over.

hello
 

Welcome to the forum Alex, there's a lot of intrest on here. Enjoy.

Welcome Alex, Hope you enjoy the forum.
Ive just got back from a holiday in Wales and the WHR was the highlight and the Garratts impressed me. Visited but didn't ride the Ffestiniog this time. (pictures in the gallery)

Welcome to the Forum Alex. Look forward to your posts.

Best wishes,

Hi Alex,

Welcome, I am going by rail to Switzerland next week and will travel around a lot by rail too, everyone tells me how good Swiss railways are so I am looking forward to it.

welcome
 

Hi Alex

Have fun on the forum
Glad you like the FfR and WHR - the Garretts and double Fairlies are quite different. They are something special. at least to my eyes!

All the best
