Hi, hoi, hallo
 
:D Hoi:D
I'm Geert - alias Fotodier - and a trainspotter. I'll believe that here I will not the only one.
I'm comming from a small country. Once in a american railway magazine, it was written that Belgium has the most ugly trains in Europe:mad: . And that is my native country.
My favorite railways are located in the Alps.:)

By the way I'm sure some of our trains in the UK are much uglier than anything in Belgium:)

Hello Fotodier = Gert,
Wellcome from me also. I read with interest that you have first hand experience with the Ffestiniog Railway. I have tried to start up three threads on narrow gauge. Perhaps you can liven it up a bit. Cheers!
Happy New Year again to everybody from Dario Romani.

Rather typical bias on the part of the American railway press, I'm sorry to say... :( Personally, I love nothing more than a good "pug dog ugly" locomotive--it just screams, "hard gritty railroading..." :) I don't know how anyone could call a 260 class shunter "ugly." :p
