In Portugal there were Mallets too... I was glad to know a little more about the story of this locomotives... Thanks

Great... Then, I'll still have some time to get some more scenery ready in my layout... probably, my layout will be almost complete by then... I can hardly wait...

Talking about old things... I want to share this picture with you since it comes more or less, following my topic about the Schindler Coaches... The Schindler's were used in Portugal, at first, for the commuter trains between Lisbon and Sintra. In the early 1950's with the coming of the...

Great work, Chris!!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Are you trying to document these things? I have some photos of level crossings. If you're trying to do some work on this area I may help you...

Just a question When is the Gauge Boxcar starting its trip around the world again and reach Portugal? Is it already moving?

Nice picture of the CPA4000... I'm only sorry that inside that train I always get sick... :D :D to see it from the outside is great... I wonder how many of these structures are still up in our country? With the will from REFER to substitute them all by passages under or above tracks they are...

Now I understand. When you referred as Cable Car, I thought about San Francisco and Lisbon... but now I see... the ones you're looking at, exist in miniature by Busch and Brawa, I guess... Those were used as transport means in early years to carry loads from the mines, essentially to main...

I have a portuguese cable car, in my layout. One specific part of it is completely devoted to this layout. Since the gauge in Lisbon of the Cable car is 1000 mm, I use N scale track as track work for the layout... I join this picture... the layout is not yet definitive, and the tracks will...

I still don't have words to describe how, I feel... since Spain is just right here at our side. I was watching news all day long, just to hear the death toll rising and rising... just by the end of the day,we received the news that Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda was behind the attacks... What's next? I...

Very, very nice! COOL :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: I can hardly wait for it to reach Portugal!!

Our 1300 Whitcombe is another American Genuine we have in Portugal. I have some photos of them, unfortunately, these photos are all from their last period... so, locomotives were preparing to die... These locomotives, in their days, were the main locomotives for the most prestigious trains...

I have mostly AC Marklin track, but in my layout, where thers's the DC, I use PECO and Roco Line. PECO turnouts are the best, And I like the line very much also... Here in Lisbon, it's easy to find Peco... but if you go somewhere else in Portugal you'll hardly find some...

Absolutely great work, Jon! I took some ideas for my layout too... Now I know, how not to hide my castle in the top of the hill... I'll "cut" the trees in front of it... Keep the good work!

That's true about those cars... in Portugal they're never allowed above the 80 Km/h... About the models, I'm trying to find some good model from Lilliput, I guess, that represents this coaches just to transform it into a portuguese one... That's another challenge... just like my Seixal...

Now, a full 2nd class coach.... my favourite... (photo by João Pedro Joaquim)

Now a 1st class Schindler also with mail van...

As I promised then, I finally found some pictures of our portuguese CP, Schindler coaches... you may find some similarities with the swiss ones... I can't remember when they had first come to service, but, by the painting scheme, I'm tempted to think that they must have got into service by...

Just waiting to have some free time to talk with you. I already have everything prepared for us to talk about those...

That equipment is what we called in Portugal a "Ferrobus". It is a railcar just like the german ones we know. This little critters spread all over Europe from Danmark to Germany, than Spain and to Portugal. Portugal bought second hand twelve of these equipments to Spain to use them in small...
