Can I introduce you my new project ? “Tramway de Grand Comble”, a ficticious line somewhere in a country like France or Belgium.

Here is a sneak preview of the new L&B clips from KBscale. Rail is Karlgarin 82/7 on a coffee stirrer sleeper.
During a recent visit to the Le P’tit Train de la Haute Somme I spotted this superb little diorama in a glass case in the museum which I assume is O14.

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

Gilbert Gribi has sent me a drawing of his hopper cars as featured on his La Vernarède layout which is exclusively available here: tremie (PDF). Note you may have to print this out twice full size to get correct 7mm scale.
Francois Gilbert and Matthieu Jacquemart, two French modellers, have built this layout.
The products from KBscale influenced them to make a layout in this scale, with a little help from Bernard Daillan of the escadrille Saint Michel !
Here is some pictures of this layout, you can see our website here
