Thanks Robin. So the pictured tracks should be 60cm narrow-gauge tracks indeed . One of the "wagonnets spéciaux" used to carry the ammo to the mortar is visible in my previous post (it's not included in Blitz new release).

There is a first time for everything and this is the first time I ever managed to find information that H.P. hadn't
found already
Happy Easter

Well done Robin ! In fact I have downloaded this PDF document some time ago but I must admit I haven't thoroughly read it...even though it's in French

Glad Påsk !

Which items is it that doesn't have a price listed

I did not find pricing for the rail lines, but it may be I did not look on their site sufficiently. I will recheck since you're sure.

If you go to this series (which is excellent in any case) and start at 29:16, you can see how these narrow-gauge tracks were used to bring large shells up to their guns.

Straight 28 cm de voies (2x14) Prix : 11.90 €
Straight 14 cm de voies (2x7) Prix : 6 €
Turningplate Prix : 7.00 €
Curved section (15 cm) Prix : 5.90 €
Sleepers (to be used with rails from ordinary
H0-gauge model railroad, probably the way to go,
14 sleepers Prix : 7.50 €

I would get the short straight section and then a lot
of sleepers and bend HO-rails to fit the diorama.

I agree, Robin. Thanks for sorting that out. Should be an awesome build.
