SRman Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Looks like a bumpy ride in those coaches! I love the charm of the old coaches and the figures and posters on the station. Lovely stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon A My garden layout started as two 1 gauge parallel tracks made from Tenmille bullhead rail. I added 2 extra rails to one of the tracks to have the possibility to run 2 and 3-rail 0 gauge trains (no outside 3rd rail). I added one rail to the other track to run S gauge and 3-rail 1 gauge trains. Regards Fred Edited May 20, 2019 by sncf231e 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And very prototypical for Bordeaux as the Ouest, Etat, PO and Midi all used Double Champignon rail. I strongly suspect that there were actually more route miles (though possibly not track miles) of "bullhead" track in France than in Britain. The Nord and Est didn't use it - at least not in the 20th C- so British observers probably got the idea that French trains all ran on Vignoles rail. They didn't as you can see in this still from The Train which, though it was supposed to be on the Vignoles Est, was mostly shot on various branchlines south of Rouen on the SNCF's Region Ouest. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
