This is the final photos took at the exterior. For those who are interested, this layout is for sale (only the layout, no rolling stocks). In that case you can contact me in private message.

I am confused. 00 is 1/76th so 7/8ths is nearly full-sized. I guess your structures are pretty massive.

 

7/8" to the foot or 1:13.7. it's a relatively common scale for garden railways etc., a step up from 16 mm/ft scale; like 16 mm scale, it's handy from representing 2 ft gauge prototypes, in this instance on 45 mm gauge track.

Excellent modelling and creative too. I see it is for sale, and that you are in Paris. Maybe one of the BD (comic book) shops would be interested to buy it for a window display?

Hi, 

 

I will exhibit my layout at the Nederlandse Modelspoordagen in Netherlands  the  13 & 14 january. For more info ,  https://modelspoordagen.nl/

 

My layout will be published in February or march in the Italian magazine Itreni.

 

A YouTube video of this exhibition just happened to pop up in my suggested watch list on TV the other night - the layout was third to be shown (the well-known UK OO Copper Wort was first, which was interesting).  Sorry I don’t have a link, but just wanted to acknowledge the layout came across well on film.  Well done!  Keith.

Hi,

 

my layout is for sale. It's only the layout, not the rolling stock. For the rolling stock, I can put you in touch with 2 professionals of the 7/8 th scale.

 

You can  contact me via private message.
