The purple block on the plan is a tippler on a raised section of track from which loaded wagons of china clay will be tipped [...]

The station, described earlier
The forestry halt, called “Sousac”
The long bank from “Grignan” to “Bois Marie”
The top “Z” part
The sawmill and its layout.

A 60cm gauge line with commercial purpose and an old branch converted for forestry development. The starting point for this project is to model a narrow gauge line with some place like: [...]

I hope group member Madkitten (Nikki) doesn’t mind me adding a link to her blog which is chronicling the progress of her new O14 layout Tumbledown Wharf at: http://madkitten.wordpress.com/ It promises to be a very fine layout when completed.
Here are some more photos Gilbert Gribi sent me of his layout Les Mages which featured in Loco Review in January & March 2000 (see O14 in the News). Further details can be found on his website here: Les Mages

Some photos of this unique and very attractive O14 layout, exhibited at ExpoNG 2008 by Jack Treves. It depicts an industrial railway supplying a sugar factory with beets to process, and is built inside three large suitcases. Small bridging sections connect each case together and, aside from the backscenes in the case lids, it is [...]

He has given me permission to feature some photos of it here. See here for details [...]
