This is good news for continental model fans and continental modellers.
They have been waiting patiently for over half a decade to see the outcome of their favourite models. Like Hornby is synonymous with British trains, so Jouef is with French trains and Lima with Italian trains.
The French are as particular as the British and as there are LNER, LMS, GWR and SR fans etc, in France you have the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western fans with people devoted to their local historical railways and lines.
