Go straight to the source (http://groups.google.com/group/misc.transport.rail.europe/browse_thread/thread/2e800eb1ef92e177/b44fe0a3d493f3e6?lnk=st&q=%22jobst+brandt%22+funicular+railroading+switzerland&rnum=1&hl=en#b44fe0a3d493f3e6) for advice on Swiss trains.
My earlier comment seems to have gotten lost:
Go to the Migros in the train station in Basel. Get little open-faced salmon, ham, sliced-egg, etc. sandwiches, all daintily trimmed and accessorized, from their takeaway counter.
Get the big bar of Lindt "Extra" milch chocolate.
Migros is like 7-11, except it's not.
Bon voyage. If you're in Madrid, I'll buy all rounds.
