The mountain narrow gauge railways of Wengen, Switzerland c1984

Good collage and information Herb. Needs to be seen large. Good individual shots.
Cheers, Rosa.

Good morning Rosa. Well here are some more of my photo archives from the days I went skiing in that wonderful traffic-free Alpine village of Wengen near Gridelwald and Interlaken. A glimpse here of the only means of transport -the mountain trains. To get around at all, one needed really, a ticket for the duration of your trip and that meant you could chundle around on these trains, all over the place, up and down the mountains here, to your hearts content. - A blast-from-the-past for sure. Glad you liked them and as you say, much better seen a little bigger..

Hope you are staying safe and occupied in these days of self-Isolation. Herb

Brings back memories Herb of a good time in Wengan up to Kleine Scheidegg on to Grindelwald walked all over the hills /mountains loved the mountain railways thanks.
Keep safe TOZ.

My pleasure to bring back such memories Toz. We did a bit of walking in the snow but nothing, I am sure like yours. I did do a lot of exploring on these trains and on the ski piste though skiing down into Grindelwald and also from the top of Mürren - Schilthorn. Once viseted Gridelwald in the Summer too -my first time in Switzerland so 50 years ago now.

Keep safe too. Herb

A interesting collection Herb..............and beautifully presented in this lovely collage!

Thanks Keith. I know that you too like your collages.

Cheers, Herb

A very interesting set of pictures, Herb !

Glad you think so Ulrich. Perhaps you have been here too?

Happy Easter. Herb

A marvellous collage, Herb. Some great images and interesting background information. The old slides have lasted and scanned well.

Thanks George. In reality, just an excuse to give an airing to some dusty slides that never had hopes of such fame :) Some of the slides converted fine, others not so but it always gicves me a chance to relive these long gone holidays.
Keep well on this Easter day. Herb

this is wonderful and somewhere I have actually been!
Though it was in the Summer of 1970.

Ah, tis good that you know this place and its trains. A world away, I know and a place that I long to revisit. Glad you liked them.

Cheers, Herb

Hi Herb

Thank you for sharing these.
It looks so different today (although I only know the summer view!)

Best Wishes, a happy Easter, and stay safe!!
Peter

Another that knows this area like Toz and Colin above. I hope this brought back pleasant memories. I have been to the area four times in all, the first time, like you in summer but only as a day trip to Gridelwald and Lauterbrunnen from the Lucern area. I was hooked after that! The other three trips -all ski trips.

Enjoy the rest of Easter and keep safe. Herb

1984 doesn't seem that long ago ... well, until I start calculating ;-)
Glad you got to see and capture a bit of "old" Switzerland.
