TORCY
AN S.N.C.F. LAYOUT IN HO SCALE SET IN NORMANDY IN 2008.

Torcy is located in the Department of Seine - Maritime in the Haute Normandie Region of Northern France at the end of a single track branch off the line from Rouen to Dieppe. Torcy is a real place, but the railway is fictitious.
The survival of the branch is due, in the main, to a distribution depot set up to transfer goods arriving by rail to road vehicles for delivery to this area of northern France, the level of freight traffic is sufficiently healthy to require several trains a day. An oil depot at the terminus is also rail served.
The station also survives and is served by a regular passenger service from Rouen operated by diesel powered push-pull trains and multiple units. There is a thrice daily through train from Paris, and the occasional steam special is run at weekends.
The layout measures 22' (6.7m) x 2' (0.6m) and requires a floor space of 26' (7.9m) x 5' (1.6m) as a minimum.
The layout is DCC operated.
Photographs of the layout will be added as work progresses on it. Torcy will be exhibited for the first time at the NEC in November 2010.
