Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a sovereign state situated in the confluence of western, central, and southern Europe.

In The Railway Series, the mountain engines and their rolling stock were built here and shipped off to live and work on the Culdee Fell Railway on the Island of Sodor.
