Miniature trip with old "tacots"
In a garden of about 500 m², models of miniature trains run along two sides on some 70 m of track (rails) at the gauge of 45 mm, cross tunnels, several stations. (reduced models of old buildings disappeared or transformed) cross or double, maneuver, etc...
The passenger trains are populated by characters, the locomotives are sonorized, those with steam smoke, many manoeuvres are carried out according to the conductors of stations...
The visits take place continuously, just follow the moving train, driven by its owner. On Saturday evening will be offered night circulation, trains, train stations and lighted platforms...
Circulations in the rain are unpleasant for visitors! (there is no garden shed!).
Children, attentive and obedient will be able to drive a train... and for the most gifted, perform manoeuvres...
