RhB Railway Station, Susch, Switzerland

This photo album copyright© by Ralph Walker, Arlington, Virginia, USA 2007 for Gruetzi.com and Zweisimmen.com.

This Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file was created in the size 8.25 x 11 inches, so it may be printed full-size on either a US Letter or A4 printer.

It is intended to provide guidance to model railroaders who are detailing the Susch station, or a similar station, especially along the RhB (Rhätische Bahn).

All photos were made by the author between 2001 and 2003. The images in this document are shown in high resolution (300 dots per inch) and high compression. This is the best mix of attributes to allow you to view details. View them at up to 200% magnification.

G (Garden) gauge modellers will be interested in the Pola/Faller® Susch station kit, item G999, also known as item 330999, shown here:

H0/H0m scale modellers will be interested in the Faller® H scale kit, item 110101, which appears to be a scale model.
