Having spent all those years railroading, I have a soft spot in my head for RR memorabilia - mostly from other countries.
In the something new forum, I showed the WW2 Reichbahn grouping I scored online. Just got it put in a shadow box. Two non-Reichbahn medals on the bottom. To the left is a Verdun medal. That one HAD to go in a shadow box so it wouldn't get misplaced. The other is a French gold medal = 40 years meritorious service.

Here's another shadow box of mostly Belgian RR stuff. The two "table medals" are from Belgian Congo Railway and are made from Katanga Province copper. Very uncommon.

This grouping is also mostly Belgian "spoorwegen" with some French "chemin de fer" medals added. The watch is a RR certified Roskopf with dedicated RR fob.

After 20 years, I got a cheap watch with my name on the back. When I retired, I got a nice D-cell Maglite. But I also got a pension so it worked out.
Next time I'm downstairs I'll get pics of my RR kepi assortment. SW
