FRANCE CFD VIVARAIS HO metric in 1940/1950 - franckcombe - 07-30-2024

Hi,

I have still not finished my mexican layout in on30 but I will start in parallel a french CFD VIVARAIS at HOm scale in the  1940/1950 era.

It's a typical rural line at metric gauge. When I was young ant today too I use to ride on this train that still exist as touristic line. It's mountainous train with small halt or railways station. I Will do 3 small scene in radio chassis of the years 1940 / 1950 and the radios will be link together.

Frank, 
 
     The picture of the prototype is wonderful. You are lucky to have ridden such a beautiful route.

     This will be one of the most creative uses of a radio chassis ever done. I see many awards for this in your future. Thanks for sharing your builds with us. 

Charlie

Franck: what is CFD? I assume Chemin de Fer ...


RE: FRANCE CFD VIVARAIS HO metric in 1940/1950 - franckcombe - 07-30-2024

The CFD is an acronym of chemin de fer départementaux which means all the locals railways system in narrow gauge for rural development.
