New engines

Some new engines on the layout 😀

BB 22278RC + Rame VR2N

 

I have a previous post about the engine, but I didn't include any photos or videos. This is fixed now with this post.

And now my video!

Maubeuge - Paris

 

Before it is too late, here's a formation for Paris - Maubeuge based on a BB 22200 engine with Corail passenger cars. Those will disappear very soon in favor of modern EMUs ...

Miniature models

The locomotives have been released by LS Models and Roco, and interestingly enough, the same goes for the passenger cars!

Venice Simplon-Orient-Express - part 2

In this post, I'll focus on the models for the VSOE.

Locomotives

There are many locomotives pulling the VSOE during its journey throughout Europe. I focus on northern France and some of Belgium:
