A festive dinner concluded the Saturday.

On Sunday morning the participants and guest boarded a special train “Around Zürich”. Two coaches of the Railvetia were pulled by the famous swiss Crocodile Be 6/8^lll 13302 over main and secondary lines around Zürich. A great lunch waited for us in a traditional restaurant in Winterthur where the official part of the meeting ended.
