The superb ‘réseau’ of Renaud Yver ( and his excellent cinematography)

[LWB]

I spend more time than I should trawling through YouTube searching for, amongst other things, videos of model railway layouts. Typically my favourites are UK prototypes up to late 80s. I have had no interest in European layouts until that is I came across the exquisite work of Renaud Yver and his layout (réseau) based on the small town of Luzy but incorporating so much more. I’m sure this is known to a lot of you but I’d love to know if these are all scratch built models or is the standard of off the shelf models so much better in France?
