This is the SNCF yard where they send engines when they’ve finished their working life…it’s massive, and has all sorts of engines and TGVs etc.

The yard is near Rouen.

The BBC news website recently had a story about a model railway layout…

There’s go-pro ride-through the layout which is good.

The model is a re-creation of a the railway in Scotland at the beginning of the 1960s…it’s lovely, but all a bit run-down. Nothing is a grand as ruins.

I’ve posted before about the problem of feeling in relation to the model railway, here

Here is a painting by Terence Cuneo. It’s a picture of the railway yards in Boulogne, France.

Here are some wonderful live-steam engineered models of railway locomotives. I’ve put the link to the whole sale catalogue on my are.na page.
