EK-Special Magazine 161 Gäubahn
by Friedhelm Weidelich
A new special issue featuring nearly 300 photos, train formation charts, and detailed information on the history of the Gäubahn and long-distance service from Stuttgart to Switzerland and Italy is a must-have publication. With the Stuttgart 21 project, the significance of this once-important international long-distance route will continue to decline. Gauge 1 model railroaders will find interesting ideas here for short express trains and prototypical international train formations, as well as D-trains hauled by freight steam locomotives.
Ce nouveau numéro spécial, qui comprend près de 300 photos, des schémas de composition des trains et des informations détaillées sur l’histoire de la Gäubahn et du service longue distance reliant Stuttgart à la Suisse et à l’Italie, est une publication incontournable. Avec le projet Stuttgart 21, l’importance de cette ligne internationale longue distance, autrefois majeure, ne cessera de décliner. Les modélistes ferroviaires de l'échelle 1 y trouveront des idées intéressantes pour des trains express courts et des compositions de trains internationaux fidèles à l'original, ainsi que des trains D tractés par des locomotives à vapeur de fret.
