skinner75 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Came across this on twistedsifter.com, and then found some more links. Amazing that so much is still extant in a large modern capital city! There are some lovely brick lined cuttings in places http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemin_de_fer_de_Petite_Ceinture Video of the route made up of stills pieced together (those arty French!): Not modelling I know, but thought it may interest some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
