Thanks for posting all this info. It's been a really interesting read and I hope that at some point in the future I may visit. I'm an SNCF fan so very interested in the class 276 locos that you have.

As others have said, it will be a real shame to see this go. I have watched it all, from when you bought Perdu! Surely a home could be for it all?

The microbuffet is a fairly easy job as it doesn't require much work. A red stripe over one end of the carriage would probably be enough as the tinted glass means you can't see much inside anyway!

Look forward to seeing this!

That's a very kind offer Peter, thank you. It's a bit out of my era though.

I must admit my interest with n gauge has taken a dip at the moment but I'm sure I'll get my interest back!

You could always ebay it. You may find that someone would be happy to repair it.

Sounds like an interesting project. I wish someone would produce some body shells for the set of push pull coaches (the stainless steel RIO sets).

Good luck!

Nice. I've got the older Minitrix 67300. The 67000 series were so common all over France so one can always justify one!

No problems. I've enjoyed seeing your layouts develop.

No need to justify it at all Peter. You will be very pleased with it. And if you are feeling that guilty, you can sell me the 65500!

I think the older (visually) type is better for your era so I think it was the one to go for.

I could take a few photos of mine if it would help!

I bought mine from Basar Valira in Andorra for 100 Euros. They still have CC7101, CC7102 and CC7140: http://www.basarvalira.com/index.php?idmenu=20&accion=producte&id=878 I chose 7140 as I had a ride behind it from Avignon to Nimes. It is preserved (as is 7102). Be aware that they are of the...

I have tried to be selective over my F...

Nice loco. I have a Startrain CC7100 and it is superb. I've been thinking about getting one of them myself but am holding onto my money for the Hobby66 BB8100 electric that should be on its way next month.
