MOMI

I might have time to go to visit it, the saturday morning, if the strike end, as I should be in Perpignan until the 30th.
It's school hollidays, we are visiting my parents with the children.

Don't forget some nice pics please. Have a great time.
I'm sure the strikes will be finished by the holidays.

We managed to go to Perpignan, the strike is not done yet.
Anyway, it's very windy and very sunny here and we had about 19°c yesterday .
Good bye mister frost for a week, was cold next to Paris.

So, I will see what I can do for those pictures next saturday morning .
I saw that Tram47 and Olot will be there as well with the MOMI line and some others (saw it on VML).

Olot sera en Suisse pour piloter le réseau de Passion IIm. !!!!
Olot will be in Switzerland to pilot the network ( layout ) of Passion IIm.

Damm, misreading, well, ...

Have to wait now for the event.

There was a lot of demonstation, very few salers.
Lot's of place for ships, boats, sails, cars, trucks, planes and trains.

Here few pictures :

Well MOMI had a central place in the main arena














There was a huge cannon on rail, I didn't see any notice about the scale, but it looks I (not II or IIm)











There's few more to come ....

Here some other things, some steam engines























Got few more, but I have a TGV to take, hollidays are finished.

Love the armoured locomotive - even I could model that . The steam engines were interesting as well - what is the significance of the "Twinings" tin ? was it some form of brewing device. Nice pics, the MOMI layout looks good too.

One of the steam engine work with electricity, no gaz.
For the twinings box I didn't see the owner so I didn't ask.

I will see tomorrow if I have a better picture left

nice set of pictures Laurent

mikey

Fascinating and impressive

Electric steam engines.....well Hornby did it too.

I think the Twinings box maybe an improvised condenser.

It's probably the 1:35 scale "Dora" kit ("the world's largest plastic model kit").
