Footplate ride with LEB No. 5 - Complete Line Blonay Chamby Join the crew of LEB No. 5 on the steep climb from Blonay to Chamby, followed by the descent to Chaulin Musée.
Visitate questo bellissimo museo, le macchine girano davvero, gli amici volontari sono competenti, gentili e disponibili. Le macchine sono tenute in condizioni meravigliose.
Delightful little line - they had a 0-6-6-0 Mallet when we were there - ex-Reseau Breton? Not many electrified minor lines. Presumably the heavy repairs in view are being done by CFF? They also had the biggest wasps' nest we ever saw.
The 0-6-6-0 is from the Todtnau line in the black forrest. It is currently undergoing a heavy overhaul. The bridge rebuild is being done/ or at least partially paid for by the MOB/MVR, as the line is still used by them to bring stock from the Vevey - Les Pléiades line to the main workshop in Chernex.
