Katzhagen - Archive - June 2011
Tickets please !
After quite a long time there finally was an occasion for running the trains again. A complete weekend and best weather provided for lots of fun with numerous trains.
The RhB Ge 4/4 II 612 Thusis which had a facelift lately also was put into service. It now corresponds to its prototype's current condition and it fulfills the expectations regarding its appearance.

Both retrofit and paint work on the old Thusis finally could be finished. The whole metamorphosis has been documented step by step and can be found in the projects area.
