One of the nearly realistic French model railroad layouts - HO scale model trains of SNCF in France

[@Tom-Lahaye]

To all complaining about the absence of overhead wires, this is a model of the Maurienne railway which used 1,5kV DC third rail. So the electric locomotives used here had both pantographs for use on other lines and third rail pickup shoes to operate on this line. All is in the video description The third rail is modelled, it can be seen between the 2 tracks All the locomotives used are prototypical for this line, including the modern CC6500 locomotives of which a batch also had third rail pickup shoes for use on this line. These locomotives were introduced in 1969-1975 so fit in the time frame, they could even have encountered steam locomotives as steam was withdrawn in 1973 in France. All the other electrics are older classes of course, built in the period from the 1920s to the 50s. In 1976 after lowering the tracks in the tunnels overhead wires were installed.

Awesome! Great simulated real stereo sounds of trains exactly in the direction of travel! Congratulations!👍👏🚉

I've started collecting Jouef trains two years ago here in north carolins. I had a set when I was a kid in the seventies in the Netherlands This is a beautiful set up, love it

Merci!

Moi je suis juste admiratif d'une telle qualité. Mon réseau est très loin d'atteindre ce niveau. Bravo.

[@bearowen5480]

Wunderschoen! Very relaxing to watch. Beautiful scenery, and incredibly well done sound effects and coordination. Congratulations to the talented modeler!

Ce réseau est magnifique, un grand bravo aux concepteurs. Merci pour ce partage.

Capolavoro 👍💯👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋‼️

[@marcoperez6952]

Is that a third rail next to the railway rails? I had no idea the French railroads used third rails like the NY subway system.

[@alazyfrog5969]

A handful of lines in France had the third rail, this line was converted to catenary in 1976

[@G_de_Coligny]

Let's just wait for the first comment complaining about the lack of catenary wires...

[@derekrussel-hill8597]

Are all the electric locomotives fitted for third rail pickup? I am assuming this is the case, including the Nez Caisse?

[@pieterotten3848]

I'm struggling with this issue. Not sure if I want to install them.

[@resitupfer7950]

This is absolutely deadly nonsense! No contact wire, no masts, and electric locomotives still run. A technical miracle! French air electric transmission.

[@G_de_Coligny]

@@derekrussel-hill8597 only older Maurienne line locomotives but they have been converted back to overhead wire pickup… something about third rail, snow and road salting I think…

[@G_de_Coligny]

@@pieterotten3848 the japanese “tetsudo mokei” clique who are around 99% N scale go 50/50. They put the poles but not the wires. Which work for a small scale. Especially for layouts that are open to cats… The Kato(/tomix ?) poles look somewhat French and are really cheap too…

Another piece of fine art in my book. Just get rid of the music. I'd sooner listen to the birds.

👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@lelangeseppe5619]

Magnifique, son très réalistes mais ... pas de caténaire, une erreur ou une faute de goût ?

[@Jean-BenoîtWEBER]

Cherchez bien et vous comprendrez 😎

[@davidducasse5146]

La critique facile

[@rinaldovernero9335]

No catenary because there is the third electric rail.

[@rustinpieces]

Trains running almost a tad too slow rather than (as usual) way too fast - immediately gets my attention!

[@loco141r3]

Well if you consider that this line is one of the steepest ramps on the french network, it’s perfectly fine, train usually don’t go other 60/70kph on this part of the Maurienne even today

Lodevole averci messo il rumore di sottofondo dei treni veri però si capisce che sono sbagliati e rendono il video non realistico. Meglio mettere un video coi rumori originali del plastico.

Nice layout for sure, but "realistic"? Ever seen electric locomotives without overhead wire ?? Better switch to diesels !

[@loco141r3]

This is perfectly fine and even perfectly accurate, since the Maurienne line used a mix of 3rd rail and catenary wires for lower parts of the valley until the middle of the 70s. Here the section depicted, near La Praz in upper Maurienne valley, was electrified with a 3rd rail which you can see between the tracks. All engines running on the line were small series inherited from the PLM and conceived for the line in the 20s/30s + some engines modified from larger series, including BB 1 to 80, CC 7100 and CC 6500. You might have needed to check that before posting such a thing…

[@Lakeside1943]

@@loco141r3I do apologize and had no idea that such operations existed !

[@jorgesabater8640]

Too much plastic. It's not just the absence of catenary.

[@marcvandyck8052]

There is no need for catenary. This line was electrified with 3rd rail.
