THE “CLUB DE MODELISME DE DRAVEIL” 1 - The Club : The "Club de Modélisme de Draveil" (CMD) has been founded in 1974. In 2008, 15 persons are active members of the Club. Draveil is a city located 13 miles south of Paris and 5 miles south of Orly Airport. The population is 30.000. Located at 1.5 miles from and between the famous tracks PLM (Paris Lyon Méditerranée) and Paris -Toulouse, Draveil is one the rare cities around Paris without any railway station. 2 - Club's Activities 3 different layouts are at the disposal of members : - A modular HOm layout particularly dedicated for exhibitions. - A HO layout (French SNCF type with 1500V Catenary system). The track could located on the PLM (Paris Lyon Méditerranée) or P.O (Paris Orléans Toulouse) sites. - A N layout (German DB type). A part of this layout is made up with 5 modules or more which can be transported and shown during exhibitions. The structure of the HO and N layouts is very simple. The both layouts are constituted with a double track. The minimum radius is 100 in. except points. The centenary system allows the engines to run with the pantograph in the upper position, but it has no electrical function. The tracks of the main station (HO layout) are long enough to allow the stop of a 9 coaches train (length # 120 in.). The tracks of the main station (N layout) are long enough to allow the stop of a 11 coaches train (length # 79 in.). The design of these layouts allows to use all kinds of rolling stock, except some US wagon (too large size), in good conditions of realism.
