Does anyone know of a site of French clubs who have a 5 inch gauge track – or private individuals with same ? (127 mm – 5 inch).

Suggest you look ici as a start maybe.

Liens Vapeur gives you a short listing of some locations with links & a posting in the Forum mentioning the area of France that particularly interests you will almost certainly bring some response.

Bonne chance!

Thanks for the info – I guess I should have put this question under CLUBS. Anyway thanks for the replies. Those clubs are about 400 miles North of me, so still looking.

Answering my own post. I have just come across this site. For 5" and 71/4", look bottom left of page and click on the injector to see the catalogue.

Treigne (Belgium) has a bit of straight miniature track , check for gauge before you go !

Worth going to for their full-size steam gathering in September, check for dates on the website.

Marienburg- Treigne steam festival , much better to park up in Treigne and travel to M'burg on the train.
