Rue CFF / Bahnweg  – Ian Hedgecock – HO Gauge  SBB/BLS is a compact small terminus layout portraying a fictitious ‘part of town’ somewhere in the Jura foothills / North West Switzerland where the delineation between French and German speaking communities is vague. SBB and BLS locos power the mainly push pull local passenger and serve the Co-op warehouse/bakery. There is also a small stabling point to which locos from elsewhere in the area come for brief layovers.
