The SGK-bahn by David Ward
The SGK-bahn is set in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland around the village of Saxeten. It is a metre gauge rack railway built to a scale of 5mm to one foot - very close to S scale. The railway has borrowed stock from the other mountain railways of the region, re-gauging from 800mm to 1 metre gauge as required. The model uses rack assistance to negotiate the steep inclines, and the catenary is fully working. All the stock is scratch-built, using either Fleischmann, Hornby or hand built chasses. The track is a mixture of hand built and proprietary.
This railway appeared in the January/February 1982 edition of 'Continental Modeller', and has undergone improvements in the recent past.
