• 20 Avenue Emile Dehousse, Ducey
• Open door of the Rail Miniature de la Baie, model railroad club, to discover 4 HO scale networks. - The largest and oldest (started in 1996), 10 m x 5 m long, allows for the circulation of 6 trains, spaced out by automatic blocks based on the SNCF model. - The decor represents imaginary places but the backgrounds, made with gouache by one of the members, reproduce the districts of Ducey - Les Chéris and its surroundings. - Many sketches, often humorous, describe slices of daily life. Most of these animations are activated by the visitors with the help of push buttons placed along the modules. - A second network of about fifteen meters long is dedicated to digital. Starting with a set of 6 modules bought second hand, we created an extension with a terminal and a transit station linked by a single track where the train traffic is almost identical to that of real trains. A depot with its functional hub completes this large network on which the trains are controlled by smartphone, tablet or multi-maus. - Another network "table" allows children to learn how to drive small trains. - In addition, we have created a set of 3 digitized modules in N scale that we can present in exhibitions or other events and which will be added to another network of the same scale, the whole representing a length of about 5 meters.
