    Some French tinplate toy train cars in 0 gauge made by GMP (Gilardi, Mouraux, and Pottier) and BLZ (Bourdeau, Lheurre and Zedda) in the fifties pulled by a ACO (Atelier de Chateau d'Eau) 2-6-0 SNCF 130B locomotive from the eighties that I made last year from an old kit Regards Fred

    There were, but not during the whole period of the Night Ferry, also sleeping cars that went from London via Dover, Dunkerque and Lille to Brussel and also for a short period to Basel. This video shows these connecting trains to Basel and Brussel i n 0 gauge in my garden. Regards Fred

    The Dutch HSM railway company used names instead of number s for their locomotives. They ordered some tank locomotives from Borsig (Berlin) in 1874 with the names Thetis (mother of Achilles) and Ulysses. See the manufacturers photo of Thesis: Not all Germans know the classics 😉. Regards Fred

    MTH made the GP20 also in 2-rail, but almost 30 year ago, so I do not know how it compares to recent products. https://mthtrains.com/20-2140-2 Regards Fred

    RiavRossi did not make the NORD Atlantic. A plastic version of the NORD Atlantic in H0 was issued by Altaya in an Orient Express train set. It is shown here in a video I made on NORD locomotives: Regards Fred

    Hi Dave, I see no loco at 3mins15 (That is the end of the video); at 2:30 there is a Nord Chapelon Pacific by Roco. As far as I know there was never a Nord Atlantic called Super Atlantic; there was a Nord Super Pacific. Both the Atlantic and Super Pacific were modelled by Fulgurex, also in 0 gauge as far as I remember. Regards Fred

    The only de-Luxe expresses connecting with Ocean steamers on the European continent were the French "Trains Transatlantiques" from Paris to Cherbourg and Le Havre. From 1931 until WWII the Transatlantiques were equipped with green/turquoise coloured "voitures-salons" of the ETAT railway with superb CIWL service. Models of these green/turquoise cars were made in H0 gauge by France Trains. Recently LS Models/Models World also issued these cars. Here is the unboxing of the set I bought: Regards Fred

    It was common to measure gauge like this, i.e. middle of the railhead, long before Lionel came with their first trains. See my e-book on gauge and scale: http://sncf231e.nl/gauge-and-scale/ Regards Fred

    Another international woman: Claudia Nagel from Germany is a collector of vintage table railways: She wrote a book on French JEP S gauge railways which is available for download as an e-book: http://sncf231e.nl/JEPSE/ Here she tells about her collection of Swiss WESA trains: Regards Fred

    The gauge of 28/25 mm was rarely used; here is a train set that arrived recently. It looked like it was never played with before: Regards Fred

    I had a red/brown version of this Hornby locomotive and found also a black version. Here they run both. Regards Fred

    So this is not a trainset since it is H0 ? Regards Fred

    Many of your posts bring back happy memories of the model railway my brother and I had made in the sixties/seventies. I remember having made up this post office from the Faller kit and it can be seen (if you know where to look) at the right of this picture with a tree at the side wall: Here is another picture of the city on our railway: Regards Fred
