I have an article of 10 pages on my layout in the spanish magazine number 117 MAS TREN. Maquetación 1 by franck combe, sur Flickr I will exhibit my layout during the next week-end at Chemin de fer des chanteraines near Paris.

This layout is for sale for an amount of 850 £ or 1000 € . The layout does not include the locomotives or rolling stock or the figures. The layout is available to be pick up from Paris.

My Friend Jean-Pierre Printed the 3 different locos and the rolling stock as a test. We need only to print it in the right resolution and in the good direction to optimize the print.

I make some progress. I refine the scene composition. I reduce the height of the 3 tanks also. IMG_9102 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_9103 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_9104 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_9105 by franck combe, sur Flickr IMG_9106 by franck combe, sur Flickr

I add the backdrop in order to see if the composition is correct. I will leave the scene like few days in order analyze it and then to do some minor changes. The crane will be on pillars, I will add space between tanks and perhaps I will reduce the height of the tanks. I don't know how to fill the left corner of the layout.

Hello, My Sidi Fontana layout is nearly finished so it's time for me to create a new one. I want to reproduce a Sugar cane railways in Egypt at oo9 scale. It's a real 2 feet gauge built by french and english in 19 th century and still used today. The train is used for 50 % of the cane sugar in Egypt. Two links on youtube https://youtu.be/2hSj3oWkZBI . I will reproduce a part of a sugar cane refinery near luxor with his harbour and crane. The locomotives and the rolling stock don't exist and my friend Jean-Pierre Duval will do this with 3d printings. This is the mock up IMG_9018 by franck combe, sur Flickr and the layout IMG_9044 by franck combe, sur Flickr

During the last exhibition in Paris,I wear a djellaba and a sheshia. IMG_6531 by franck combe, sur Flickr

I have exhibited for the first time the layout in France. Please find the video on youtube

The exhibition was excellent with beautiful layouts like Punta Marina and many others. My layout run well but I have minor defaults to correct like the lighting too yellowish. Here a shoot of the true decauville rolling stocks in Morocco from Loco Revue Magazine. IMG_8080 by franck combe, sur Flickr and one from nigth DSC_0100 by franck combe, sur Flickr

logo jpeg by franck combe, sur Flickr After finished my Sidi Fontana layout at oo9 scale, I start a new one. San Sergio Leone : an ON30 Mexican authentic western spaghetti line. I like the spaghetti western films and and I want to recreate this spirit in a layout. I was influenced by a layout called "performance western" by my friend raul Valls, by also an english layout called "the layout with no name" and a the Estrella & Sonara grande railroad of Verne Niner. I choice the on30 scale because the Bachmann products are very affordable and I have already two baldwins 4-6-0 with dcc sound. All the rolling stocks will be Bachmann that I buy at trainworld.com at an incredible price. I locate the layout in mexican because there is too much layouts located in the USA and I prefer also the adobe houses. The layout in itself mesures 80 inches by 25 inches plus 2 transfert tables on each end plus an hidden track. The buildings will be a mixed between true mexican houses, the chuch of San Diego, a jail, a lee van cleef bank and false building for western film. A mine also will be located on right. The figures are mainly mexican (modified from pegasus hobbies) with monks and also true figures at scale of Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood. The backdrop is a photo of desert of Ian Parker printed on a PVC tarpaulin. The story is located in a small, poor and peaceful mexican town near the USA border when the bad cow-boys attack the town. This is the drawing of the layout : dessin reseau png by franck combe, sur Flickr
