We arrived from Zermatt by taking the car on a train, it was a very slick operation, then we zoomed through a tunnel under some giant mountains. Then we went up the valley to Wengen (say that as if it starts with a 'v') . (note that Switzerland and Germany were before the Dolomites, the postings are out of order)-ed
The valley was very steep, so we went on a cog train to get to Wengen. There were no cars but the hotels had electric vehicles, they were small. Each one had two tonnes of batteries! Mum chose the hotel because we found it had model trains (the backdrop was very authentic! -ed) He had at least 45 engines in his shed, one hand made steam type engine. There shingle trucks, oil trucks, passenger cars. He gave us a big thick Marklin catalogue. (It is very heavy!-ed). The shed was under the hotel, he had dug it all out and their were props and piles of blocks to hold up the floor above!
