A short holiday

Just got back from a fortnight's holiday in the Department du Lot (France) where, among other great sites, we visited a Heritage Railway (if that's what they are called) that runs on a disused line from Martel to St. Denis. Among their items there is a locomotive built way back in 1887 and which was in service until the 1970's. There are a few photos below. The coaches (?) were open, unsprung I believe, the flooring seemed to be old sleepers and the seating was wooden, recovered from old French 3rd Class coaches. We went on the day they were sporting a steam locomotive, other days they run diesel. We were pushed one way and pulled on the way back.

As I have mentioned before, I wish to upgrade my system but, since impulsive acting has led to many problems up to date, I shall be asking for help elsewhere on this weeb.
