Congrats. You can never have enough SE/30s.

Nice! Anyone on the train check it out?

That looks like a nice train

Not yet, but people have previously approached me about it when I took a Mac home or to office by public transport.

It's an SBB RABDe 500

True, but space is still limited. I will pass on another one soon.

I could add a few more of this sort if you want, from previous journeys

If you like! I just like both macs and trains. The best I can offer you at the moment is an M1 on a class 166, which isn't really up to that standard on either point. I have a photo somewhere of the day I decided to try to transport two organ manuals on a class 221 though...

This is my first SE/30, probably on the way home from storage

Later, there was actually a guy who asked me if I bought it from a museum! He then told me about the first Mac at his place in 1984 and how everyone wanted to use it.

Thats awesome @robin-fo congrats on a great score ๐Ÿ™‚

Compacts riding trains is the thread I didn't know I needed in my life. Congrats on the SE/30
Posted by: jmacz on 2025-07-21 17:07:51
This is so awesome! Each of those pictures gives the compacts personality. I like the one with the SE/30 in the reflection. It's like it's looking out the window and enjoying the ride. ๐Ÿ™‚
