That's great, although we had quite some communication during the last year, you have not mentioned that you work for RENFE!
As you can see most of us appreciate a good rail photo and some info, no matter witch network it comes from
our ''European & World Trains" topics have many visitors

TA60, SNCF, better view:
concentrated more on the axles
concentrated more on the buffer-plank
