Yes the WWW button

For the moment there's not a lot, still need to manage how to use that thing, first time I am doing it.

Hi Laurent I've put your site as a link on my own website, along with a few others on here!

Thanks for the link to mine, Brian - when I get a moment I will add a link back to yours - it's overdue for some updates elsewhere, so I'll do it soon hopefully.

Thanks Brian

La SCFBrie vient d'ouvrir une ligne pour tester ses locomotives.
Après une certain nombre d'ajustement et d'huile de coude sur les rails anciens, les premières locomotives ont pu sortir de leur remisage.





Ps the local shed is a restricted area for the train manager and limited to the personnal use of some little person.

C'est

Je vois que tu as touvé plus des aiguillages que ceux-la que je t'ai donné.

Le futur est brillant, le futur est jaune.

Here all out of their box and all in working condition



Next time the Chef Engineer will look after the rooling stock.

A recent addition to the provisory line has been done to deliver some pipes.




I download the pictures

Long time without tracks, so today we set some on the terrasse and play, here a picture :



Yes there's tiles now on the terrasse

It's happening, you just need to extend out across the grass area now.

Here some new aquisition for the Scfbrie line, starting good delivery next year



And yes, they are yellow.

They just arrived today from the other side of the pond.

An outstanding acquisition, indeed.

Nice to know in these days of government deficits and cutbacks (not to mention all that ) that the post is still operating.

Few years ago the SCFbrie bought a land belonging to an old woman, it was a private domain, the woman was living abroad since more than 40 years.

Some part of the forest didn't see any man since that time.

Long ago we knew that a jonction was going on this land.

After few month of digging to follow the path of the tracks we arrived in front of a collapse tunnel.

We managed to enter inside an recover some historic pieces.

Now nearly restored, it going to be exibit in our museum.

But Laurent - It's NOT YELLOW

Yes it's, the color is "sable" (yellow type) hidden under camo

Here a new engine is in the shed.











And for the rule of aquisition : It must be yellow
.

A new layout on the terrasse with a very nice weather :



As new rails were delivered just in time for this week-end.

.

This line is doing delivery now. Its a bank holiday so no truck on the road there's a market to take.

You could deliver some here...Someone in our house drinks litres of that stuff.



Le jardin est vraiment beau Laurent, le gazon est bien tondé, les jolies fleurs dans les pots, les buissons.... mais..... il manque les voies...

Love those little diesels. Like the developments of your layout too.

Have you spotted the differences ?





.

Crane connaisseur.

Are they both LGB? If so why the different chassis?

The archbar trucks and wheels look like they are metal so I doubt whether that is LGB.

One of the crane (LGB) has been upgraded, with new chassis and some bogie in order to accept heavier load in condition than the usual one cannot have.

The use a bogie instead of axle allows it to be incorporated in some faster train.

One other distintiveness is the hook, that have an upgrade as well.

And indeed this one is a new addition in the shed.



.

Today a new type of wagon arrived, already on duty  



The wagons have gone to the depot for some modification of the axles.

Hi Laurent, seasons greetings!

Why have you to modify the axles??????

Hi Brian,

I replace the very light wheels by some heavy metal ones. The original ones were very light (plastic). Make the wagon more stable.

I bought those wheels at railexpo 2011, time have passed very fast the last two years (just realized it).
Had a very busy time with work, now it's done, going to move to another branch within my company.
Probably going to be busy as well, but it will be a nice new challenge.
