Train de L'Ardeche, Tournon, France | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Meter gauge railroad opened in 1903 running in the Doux Gorges near Tournon, France. Now a tourist RR operating over part of the original mainline from Tournon St Jean. Spectacular scenery.

There were two coal fired 0-8-8-0T locos running the day we were there. Both beautifully maintained.

Those ancient engines look brand new. Quite a feat to build a railroad on such terrain. The stonework and engineering on the bridges is remarkable too. Pete - how about modeling this in On3?
