SRman Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Looks like a bumpy ride in those coaches! Β 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...

Β 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. Β Β 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 itΒ - 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 Β 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.
