French Railways

I have always found French Railways fascinating. The French have an interesting approach to engineering, quite different, unusual and elegant! Look at the Citroen DS car for instance! The railways are no different and who can fail to be impressed with the 231E steam locomotives or the CC6500 or CC40100 electric locomotives?

They are also quite quirky and this is exemplified by their railcars, or autorails and automotrices as they call them.

I am building a small French layout in HO to allow me to run some of my favourite French trains. It's nothing particularly accurate, just an excuse to run some French trains!
