Well, I was living in France for a couple of years. While I was over there I did come across a couple of different model train magazines. One of them in which I have come to like. I subscribed to while I was over there.
It’s not the typical HO and N scale model train magazine showing the new French model train products that are on the market or to preorder. Or do they show just layouts from around France. They are into how to build up scenery and buildings on layouts. They show details on how they did and how to use up as little of space as possible. Also every issue they have cutouts in the center of the magazine of buildings and other railroad structures for both HO and N scale. If any of you have been to France before, you might remember on how small of living areas that they have. For example a sizable apartment over there is a two bedroom apartment sometimes three with an average of less than 1000 square feet of living space.
Well here’s some photos of the magazine. Yes, obviously they will mail to the USA. They are very nice to deal with too. I had an issue with my transfer of address from France to here. I wrote them in French. Yes, I did use google translate to verify my message. Anyhow they got my mail sent to me. Now since I have received two of the magazines here in the USA. I will resubscribe to them for here on out. Here’s some photos of the magazine and below is the website. If you are using google on your phone. The top of the page should give you the English version. The price for six magazines a year is 25.50€ or about $30.
If you are into modeling techniques and wanting to see how France modelers are doing their work. Maybe order something that you can use for your layout. Or just wanting to brush up on your French. Check them out. They do have the digital subscription too, though you will not have any of those nice cutouts in the center of the magazine.
Best regards
