Phil sent this post:
"I run a Gauge 1 double track outdoor layout, of which running is restricted to nice days!(when they appear) 3 locos are live steam and 8 others are electric with internal battery or battery van and control by Aristo Train Engineer.
Living in the remote regions of Dept 22, there is little interest in the gauge (Except LGB), the nearest group to me active in G1 is near Paris, some 550 KM away! (Longjumeau EVC45 group). Cornwall where I lived before coming to Brittany is nearer!
I have have held running sessions for visitors on odd occasions, but when thw wife runs a BBQ for visitors, interest is lost! and you are left running on your own!
My Avatar shows a G1 brittania (Now Sold)
Waiting for warmer weather (And 30 yds of track repairs after 3 winters damage)

Welcome aboard Phil, good to have made contact with you up there in Côtes-d'Armor, you could almost chuck a stone to Cornwall from there!
When the weather gets better we would love to see some pictures of your outdoor setup. My layout is a sort of garden railway,
inasmuch as its in a shed in the garden!! So I can have a heater on while I work. I don't understand how your guests could have preferred burgers to Britannias, but there's no accounting for taste. Your avatar looks to be a fine loco, what else do you run?
Good luck with the track repairs, and I hope you enjoy the Forum.
Btw, would you like me to move your original post to your own thread in "List of Scales and Eras of Interest or Modelled by Members"? You can send me a private message (PM) by clicking on the name above my avatar.
All the best
John
