Glenderg Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Is it just me or is rust a different colour under the south of france skies. It seems a lot more appropriate colour 'neath the Irish leaded skies! Great snaps Bosko, though you might consider bringing the weedspray next year...if Heirflick will let you have it.... R Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Great photos Stephen amazing to see how the salty air beside the sea effects the corrosion on the rails Quote
Garfield Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Well, Steve... I think we've found your next modelling project! Great photos! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 It would make a nice little end to end layout Quote
BosKonay Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 It would certainly be a very pretty exhibition layout. A couple of platform faces, a semi disused industrial yard behind, road crossing alongside the sea, and amazingly rusty rails on very very worn ancient looking sleepers That and only the odd regional multiple unit visiting Quote
Broithe Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 [ATTACH=CONFIG]5074[/ATTACH] I wonder how many people fall over that chain? Quote
BosKonay Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 lol - well I very nearly did anyway Gawking at the trains is very dangerous Quote

BosKonay Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Not to mention http://www.hornbyinternational.com/en/jouef/2551-sncf-z-24500-electric-railcar-pays-de-la-loire.html to complete the scene Quote
Garfield Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I take it you've already ordered them, then? Quote
BosKonay Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 manfully resisting temptation ... just for now! (while planning in my head a french layout for the shed!) Quote
Garfield Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Haha... nice one! My plan is for a simplified version of this station (Langogne): http://www.raileuropexpress.com/pages/sites-et-infra/la-gare-de-langogne.html Quote
BosKonay Posted January 3, 2013 Author Posted January 3, 2013 Wow - just lovely Have to say the jouef models look stunning - die cast chassis, interior lighting, etc - not to mention insanely pretty Quote
Garfield Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Wow - just lovely Have to say the jouef models look stunning - die cast chassis, interior lighting, etc - not to mention insanely pretty LS Models are producing AGC sets that are breathtaking, too... [video=youtube_share;ZY6c8V4qc8c] ...Should be available in Pays de la Loire TER livery. Quote
jhb171achill Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I think that rust can look darker in colour where salt air abounds; look at the ruin round loop in Portrush, or bits of rail in fences in the west... That French place looks very much like a Continental Portrush - and maybe inspiration to a modeller of a fictitious modern day Tramore line? Self contained systems are always interesting to model, n'est ce pas? Quote
Mayner Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Haha... nice one! My plan is for a simplified version of this station (Langogne): http://www.raileuropexpress.com/pages/sites-et-infra/la-gare-de-langogne.html Not quite sure why but somehow reminds me of Clones, 3 platform station, large loco depot, lightish traffic.

WRENNEIRE Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Do they drive on the opposite side of the road Quote
Broithe Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Do they drive on the opposite side of the road In Clones? they drive in the middle up there... Quote
