Nystrup in Provence, France? (1/35)

In the most recent newsletter from the Danish Model Railway Union (DMJU) Nystrup Gravel gets a brief mention (on page 16) of it's trip to the Gauge 1 exhibition in april. Although the management of the gravel company has taken every measure to underline that the company is located in Denmark, the DMJU author is nevertheless reminded of Provence in France by the landscape around the little gravel line. Well, Provence wasn't the goal I was striving to reach...

Artignosc-en-Provence. Nice and sunny.

I'm getting back to the work bench and will add more unmistakenly Danish elements to the modules. Now where can I put the mail box from Epokemodeller or should I put up a flag pole with a Danish flag?

About Nystrup Gravel

Nystrup Gravel is a 1:19 scale model on 32 mm gauge track of a Danish gravel company with a 600 mm. railway. Lines from several gravel pits converged outside the small town of Nystrup before reaching the company’s sorting facility and loading ramp for lorries.

For the first 15 years Nystrup Gravel was in 1:35 scale on 16.5 mm gauge. In 2018-2019 the layout changed to 1:19 scale.

I model the company’s railway as it looked in the early fifties. I try to make up a believable setting for my railway models by researching the history of the company and its environments. This blog gives you the possibility to follow my work. Notice that Nystrup Gravel is fiction and that all history regarding the railway and company is my work and not real.
