Three of the four members who have so far expressed an interest in French metre gauge modelling" met via Zoom on 7 December 2021.  Each person introduced themselves, outlined their interest in, and experience of, French lines, and described their modelling activities.

Each of us worked (or had worked) in different scales and gauges, and some had modelled 60cm voies étroites lines.  In discussing whether the scope of the group was correct, we thought that it was the "French" part of the proposed SIG name that was most important to us, and we discussed how to create a recognisable French ambience in a model.  Therefore, we propose to rename the SIG as "French Narrow Gauge" to include lines gauges other than 1 metre.

The next meeting will be scheduled for the second half of January 2022.

We welcome more members.
