    Spent a few days in France riding and photographing narrow gauge steam. Visited two remaining sections of the metre gauge Chemin de Fer Départemental du Vivarais. The Voies ferreés du Velay (VFV) between Raucoules - Brossette and Saint Agrève, and the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais (CFV) between Tournon Saint Jean-de-Muzols and Lamastre.
    Motive power on the VFV was former PO Corrèze 0-4-4-0T no.101 (Blanc-Misseron no 337/1906) and on the CFV 0-6-6-0T no.403 (SLM 1492/1903) an orginal Vivarais loco.

    Some lovely shots there Ian. I understand it was a bit of a challenge at times, both on and off the trains.

    First two days on the Vivarais were not easy but I missed them due to being in a French hospital. :(

    Beautiful trains and photographs.
    Sorry to hear that you had to sample a hospital, hope all is well now?

    Thanks for your thoughts. The French got me up and running again but booked into an NHS specialist to investigate the cause of the problem etc.
    Was my first visit to either line so was a voyage of discovery. The VFV is volunteer run much like a UK heritage railway so the crews were more flexible than on the CFV. That said, we had the same driver on the CFV Wednesday bash as we did on the VFV and he was more accommodating than the CFV crews of the two previous days according those who did all three days.
