I've not personally used this line, i do use the Limoges - Poitiers line as my Mum lives 20mins from Bellac, So i sincerely hope that line doesn't suffer the same fate.

Sam

Ohh, Don't worry, answered my own question, with 12Euros for 48h delivery, Hopefully Pierre will be around the same cost.

Sam

That's fantastic Keith, What are P&P costs like? I'm not sure how customs work, so are there any charges or anything alike?

Sam

Dave, your input is most welcome... Even if you do drift off

I must admit, i keep looking at Winco, and going to the HAG RE460 Locomotive Page, They look fantastic, but the £260 price tag is quite hard to stomach.

Sam

I had noticed they were 3 Rail/AC, and did wonder how easy it was to convert them, if at all. May buy 1 or 2, just to use as static displays however.

This is a particularly useful thread within the 'French Railways' Group, so I've pinned it.

Thank you for that, that would be the reason i couldn't see my own thread for a moment haha

I'm going to edit my first post with a list of retailers/e-tailers that have been recomended, So if there are any others in and around Europe then let us know.

So before i do, This is a UK based site, any one have any experience with Winco?

Thanks,

Sam

Fantastic Joseph and Brian, I'm a very happy chappy looking through both sites. One in Andorra has a smallish selection, but is right down in the Valley, and when ever i go up, we always stop at Pas, so will be a good excuse to go further.

Thanks again,

Sam

Hi Stephen,

Yes, i'm going HO rather than N.

One website i have found is http://www.pierredominique.com/, but there doesn't seem to be too much info on them, User Reviews etc.

Thanks again,

Sam

Thanks for the informative post, Given my grandparents live on the Aude/Ariege Border, Customs generally ignore us, Only been stopped once on all the trips i've taken up there in the past 20 years.

It sounds like the shop i've been into in Toulouse, but it was some years since i was last there, and there was one in Carcassonne, but again, been some years since i was last there.

Do you have a link for 'Million'? Google gives me everything other than model shops when i search.

Thank's again.

Sam

Hi All,

I'm planning on starting to model Modern Era Electrics, so i'm after good websites/shops that stock them. Gaugemaster is only a 15min ride by train, and has a good stock selection, but do seem out of stock on a number of items.

Another thing i'm after shops in in and round Toulouse and Carcassone, and towns between the two, and anything in Andorra also, Will be visiting my Grandparents in Oct, so will be able to go to these places.

Cheers in advance for the advice.

Sam

Edit:

So a few sites have been recommended, so i'm compiling them into a list:

Andorra:

Basar Valira

England:

Gaugemaster (The Engine Shed)

Kernow Model Rail Centre

Winco

France:

Pierre Dominique

Million (Jura Modelisme)

Passionnementrain

Trains 160 (For N-Gauge)

Congratulations to all those involved.

Sam

Is this one of them new Hover Trains?

I'll go get me coat...

Coldplay - The Hardest Part

Sam

Ooo, the 43 looks to be a nice model.

Not sure if it's true, but are both Power cars...Powered?

Keep up the good work.

Sam

Morning,

Nice looking layout, i thought about doing Southampton Central as an Exhibition style layout, but decided it wouldn't be viable for now due to the lack of Southern/SWT/FGW stock.

However, i do wish you the best of luck, and will defo be subscribing to this.

HM2 (Hell March 2) - Frank Klepacki

Sam

Trust me to have 2 of the more expensive model's on order. I decided i wanted a NSE and Connex version, for actually no real good reason, other than, i can.

I shant jump any guns, but i must say, i am rather looking forward to this.

Sam

Just how tempted are you to buy say, a few Class 150/158's and maybe some 220's? and run them on Waverley. I'm almost certain if i was in your position i would have done so by now, heh.

Sam

Thanks for rubbing it in, with regard to the weather.

But as always, some great scenes, and the 153 looks fabulous when viewed from the Beach, Great job.

Sam

I must be one of the few who actually likes the design of these. Yes, you can call me mad.

Sam

Layout is looking great, will be keeping my eye on this one.

Sam

Wow, some incredible wood working skills, and point making/building skills.

I will keep my eyes open on this build as it progresses.

I'm sure it wont disappoint either.

Sam

Looks brilliant Dave, very nice layout.

Thanks

Sam

Thank you Tom and Dan, both helpful.

Will look into it in more detail at a later date, but the link has been noted.

Sam

It's great to see the layout on the new boards. The HST clip was pretty awesome i must say, good job on that.
