If you are looking for sun, sea, a sandy beach, mountains (up to some 2800 meters) and picturesque foreign towns and some (meter gauge) railroad action give Corsica, the French Mediterranean island a try. On the railroad side: railcars from the early 50’s, mid 80’s and 90’s, diesellocomotives from France, Germany and Romania by way of Poland. Rebuilding / heavy maintenance is going on there at this moment. So check out this guy’s album: http://gallery.gothesfotokiste.de/main.php?g2_itemId=344
He also has some nice pictures of Lisbon and Porto in Portugal with those American looking streetcars!
