Copyright © 2002-2010, Crawley Model Railway Society [Apr 10] Made with Xara Web Designer Made with Xara Web Designer ‘Pempoul’ 1:50 Scale EM Gauge Click image to view track plan For more pictures, visit  Pempoul is a layout based on the now defunct Reséau Breton system in Brittany, northern France. It portrays a fictional small passing station and junction in a typical small town setting. The layout is of the ‘continuous’ type with hidden storage loops and is modelled to a scale of 1:50 with all the items being totally scratch built. Operation is from the front of the layout allowing better communication with viewers rather than talking over the width of baseboards.
