Just stumbled across a few splendid photos of wine delivery by rail in the Bercy district of Paris. Micro layout anyone?
A slightly ill-timed composition of dog and barrels, just above the Poclain portraits
Ok, ok, but it shows I followed up the link!
Bercy is one theme that my mind keeps wandering back to. Of late it's been prompted by the release of this gorgeous little thing and though I've resisted it set me off googling again to see what else I could turn up. Here's a blog full of then and now photos and while I find the 'now' not hugely inspiring it's a different matter for the 'then'. Enjoy.
Called Bête a cornes = bulls horns. There is a kit available in HO, not sure about 7mm. There is a later Moyse locotracteur available rtr in HO from Ree Modeles, but without a cast iron frame unfortunately.If you fancy something a little more Jules Verne-esque than the Berliet for Bercy, why not consider something from the Paris based company of Gaston Moyse?
Great bit of iron casting!!
