French N Scale Layout and SNCF Model Trains at the Prototype Railway Station of L’Arbresle

Published on March 30, 2023

In this video, we are visiting Marcel Segal’s model railroad workshop (YouTube). Marcel is a railway enthusiast who lives near Paris, France. At the moment, he is designing a very large modular model train layout, which will later measure 12 x 3 meters. Three railroad modules are already completed. Finally, the N scale layout will consist of seven railway modules.

Marcel has modeled the train station of L’Arbresle, a commune of the Rhône department in Eastern France. L’Arbresle is located approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Lyon and is a railway junction in the French rail transport system. The railway line from Lyon-Saint-Paul to Montbrison and the railroad line from Le Coteau to Saint-Germain-au-Mont-d’Or meet at the train station of L’Arbresle.

In the course of time, Marcel will construct a great model railroad. Therefore, we get a preview of the three rail modules that are already completed. Much of his N gauge layout will be completely self-made or hand-made, for example, buildings, overhead wires (catenary), viaducts, lighting, landscaping, footbridges, trees, vegetation, stone walls, roads and signage. Marcel has a motto when model railroading: Trying to keep everything simple and inexpensive.
