This is an incredible Swiss metre gauge route created by the author of the Route Builder's Bible, Michael Vone.

You may well have seen this line on one of the many TV shows on Swiss railways. It features incredible scenery and mountain railroading. The MSTS version is also incredible, it's the second most detailed MSTS line I've ever seen. (the Severne Valley Line pack is the most detailed)

Here are some screenshots from the line.

Heading up the line towards Filisur, on a heavy grade.

The curved viaduct at Filisur, the line's most famous feature and probably one of the most photographed railway bridges in Switzerland.

Further along the line near Berguen the line twists and tuns and uses a couple of loops to gain altitude in the canyon. The train shown below is on the same track our train is on and about to enter a spiral tunnel.
