Hello Peter.

I've bookmarked both of your entries on this forum on my computer, as I find the development of your 1/32 layout to be very interesting, and I often visit it for reference  purposes.  Like you, I dabbled in another scale, but due to my daughter collecting quite a bit of Britains riding school and farm equipment (when quite young and into horse riding at the time), I have used her collection, and more or less followed your ideas.  Mine is based in Western Canada (we produce a lot of potatoes!) and I use models of old mining equipment for motive power.  It will provide a relaxing way to 'play trains' in retirement.  I was wondering where you obtained all those sacks I see loaded on to a number of your flat wagons?  I know that Britains produced similar sacks for one of their male figures, but not sure in what quantity, and if they are still available?  Lastly, do you still volunteer at your nearby motor racing track?  As a youth, I lived close to Brands Hatch and enjoyed many a visit to watch the car and motorbike racing.  Any more progress on Two Sister's Farm?  Cheers, Bill

Hello Peter.

Recently found your excellent French tram layout on this forum after searching for 1/32 scale n.g. model train layouts.  May I inquire regarding the manufacturer(s) of the extensive amount of figures that populate your layout please?  Some look like Modelu, but not sure if others are perhaps Preiser or Britains possibly?  A lot of 1/32 figures come out of China for the slot car market, but they are not as realistic as the above mentioned, but quite a lot cheaper when you require volume.  Thank you for your time in this inquiry.
