Best Place to Visit in France Jean-Ville - Realistic O Scale Model Train Layout by Jan van Remmerden

Did you know that France consistently tops the list as the world’s most visited destination? It does not take much imagination to see why: Just think about captivating cities and villages, impressive landscapes, enviable coastline, seductive lifestyle and some of the world’s best food and wine. France is not only one of the most visited travel destinations, but also one of the most beautiful themes for model railroading, railway modelling and rail transport modeling.
French landscapes, the lifestyle, the tranquillity of the small villages and the special railcars called “Autorail” inspired Jan van Remmerden to build a very realistic looking model railroad layout in O scale. Although Jan van Remmerden is not a Frenchman - he lives in the Netherlands, he has captured the French lifestyle and created a little masterpiece with its model of the railway station of the small village called “Jean-Ville”.
On a wooden board measuring 2 x 0.5 meters, we discover a narrow-gauge single-track line with cargo traffic that is used by both a small goods train loaded with timber and a railbus called “Autorail Billard”. The station with its neat little station building, which is located just below the village, is reached through a tunnel on the right side. In front of the station, the single-track track splits: one track leads to the platform and the second track is used for passing freight trains.
On the left side, shortly behind the station, there is also a crossing track. A track branches off to a small engine shed where shunting diesel locomotives are housed. Further to the left, the line disappears into the woods behind the engine shed. On the right in front of the station, there is a small business with a warehouse with a completely rusted roof. There is an old tractor in the warehouse. In front of the warehouse, goods are being unloaded from a small truck.
The village’s market square is a wonderful feature of the model train layout. The market square is located to the left of the train station on a hill. Two guests are sitting in front of the café and an old “Citroën Traction Avant”, also called “Citroën 7”, “Citroën 11”, “Citroën 15/6” or “Citroën Big Fifteen Sedan”, is parked next to the house with balcony. By the way, there is also a Citroën DS parked under the tree, right next to the train station.

Quand je me tourne vers mes souvenirs, je revois l'ambiance dans laquelle j'ai grandi. Il me revient des tas de choses, j'y vois des roses et même un train, mes amis ............. Je reprendrai un jour le premier train du souvenir ............. tout y est , la "partition" est magnifique et..... le "temps" dure longtemps; ....on dirait le Sud.... Thanks mister Jan van Remmerden

when I look at things like this , my imagination talks me into thinking all the little people , live their lives in those little houses and streets when the lights switch off and the humans leave. daft I know , but these models are incredibly realistic .

[@davidcharlesiannotti3800]

Very beautiful and realistic. The sound is simply amazing!🚂🚃🔥🔥🔥

[@janremmerden6223]

Wunderschön gemacht, danke. 👌

[@maidsandmuses]

Great modelling, and also great filming. Whilst I can understand this layout is only 2m long, it is hard to believe this O-scale layout looks so convincing at only 0.5m wide. Well-chosen camera perspectives! 👍👍

[@easycretor]

Excellent job wonderful layout. Looks like early to mid 50s.

Bravo au (x) réalisateur, c'est magique, merci pour ce bon dans le temps où les choses semblaient plus " simples" 🙏😊

[@johnwalkley6746]

It reminds me of a journey I took across Corsica not so very long ago. Wagons had been updated a bit but for the most part just as decrepit. It was beautiful.

Макет и видео сделаны со вкусом и мастерством настоящего художника! Городские сценки восхищают. Профессиональная работа. Автор молодец! Одна вещь не совсем понятна - звук работы двигателя локомотива - это наложенный на видео аудио файл или реальный звук от декодера (Sound Decoder)? Спасибо.😊 ❤👍

Beautiful! I'm no expert. However I enjoy all types of modelling. Very well done.

[@steffenrosmus9177]

Chapeau, very well made captures the spirit of French narrow gauge as it was in the 1960ies. Some details are missing, f.e hinges on the shades, chaines on the log cars. But that is complaining on a high level. 😉
