The area was really dotted with military installations. Here's a map showing the location of Barrack Sebastopol (Caserne Sebastopol): ( E.A.C.=Evacuation Ambulance Company-Motorized, M.H.=Mobile Hospital-Motorized) A view of Evaculation Hospital 1 at Barrack Sebastopol, with Mont St. Michel in the background: An example of the installations at the site (E.H.1 building plan):

I don't know what "1435 gauge" means On this site (not only at the linked page) there is a number of pictures for ww1 french steam loco's (but if you turned the Internet upside down searching, you know about it already ) http://appeva.club.fr/cfcd2_e.htm#Vapeurs Also: http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/loco_list.html

I just did a short research (wiki and a few other sites) for the French steam locomotives used between 1914 and 1918. There are a huge variety of different type. Focussing on the North and Eastern region, here a list of the most common models: 030 Est - "Mammouth" 130 A Est - "Mogul" 130 B Est - "Mogul 8s" 230 A Est - "Ten Wheel" 230 B Est - "Ten Wheel" 230 J Est - "Ten wheel série 11 S" 140 Est - "Consolidation" 232 T Est - "Baltic" 140 C ALVF 050 T Midi - "Ten coupled" 220 Nord - "Outrance" 221 série 8v - "Atlantic" 230 Nord - "Ten Wheel" 230 G PO - "Ten Wheel" The first 3 numbers means, form first to third: - number of wheel boogie before motorized wheels - number of motorized boogies - number of wheel boogie behind motorized wheels. Some pictures of some models: 030 Mammouth 130 Mogul 230 Ten Wheel 140 Consolidation (The coal tender is not original, it was replaced later) 232 Baltic 140 ALVF (mainly used in WWI for artillery transport) 220 Outrance 221 Atlantic A full page about the Atlantic There 230 G PO Wikipedia page about this locomotive There And to finish, a very good site with lot of other locomotive picture of this era: There

Rama, please remove those pictures and just insert links, this thread has become illegible because of them. (Too wide)

Looking for information on WWI antante Dear Viks, It is not spelled "antante" but ENTENTE (the French word for "Understanding", pronounced more or less as you spell it). I have seen that mis-spelled word a few times now in KotS material and it is really necessary to correct it, it looks terrible! You can make the technically best sim in the world, but if there are embarrassing spelling mistakes in it, it will just undermine the the whole professional look you are striving for. Il-2 did that mistake, and that was why many people in the English-speaking world had a hard time taking it seriously. I REALLY hope you guys avoid the same mistakes. PLEASE use spelling software and PLEASE involve the community in ensuring good quality of the textas of the sim. It is not great if your sim turns out to be involuntarily funny to a lot of people. suspension of disbelief goes out the window with bad or frequent spelling errors. I know you guys are mostly geeks and computer nerds. And on top of that, you're mostly non-native speakers of English. You maybe do not attach as much importance to texts as "humanistic geeks" like myself. But it will be a very bad idea to neglect the area. So, please have somebody focus on the texts in the sim!

VikS knows this Freycinet, that first impressions matter and that words are all we have and he knows that he can send me the scripts and I will sub-edit them for free. We would ask him to correct our Russian without embarrassment wouldn't we I asked an engineer friend VikS, a builder of locomotives: some notes on the rolling stock loans Six feet = 1828.8mm Railway Operating DivisionA division of the British Army Royal Engineers, largely recruited from railway companies, which controlled and operated standard and narrow gauge railways behind British fronts in France, Belgium, Greece, Egypt and Russia during the First World War. Formed in 1915. http://www.lner.info/locos/O/o4o5.shtmlWith World War 1, the Royal Engineers formed its Railway Operating Division ('ROD') which commenced operations in Continental Europe in February 1916.
The ROD originally intended to use French and Belgian locomotives, but both of these countries deliberately kept their locomotives away from the Front. [Ming's underline] British locomotives were quickly conscripted, and early loans included a variety of engines from Britain's railways http://www.experiencefestival.com/railway_operating_divisionhttp://www.lnwrs.org.uk/GoodsLocos/Loco22.phpTwenty-six were sent to France to be used by the ROD in World War I, all being later returned so they probably did not go too near the trenches! http://www.lnwrs.org.uk/GoodsLocos/ex015.phpA 17in ‘Coal Engine’ seen on service with the Railway Operating Division (ROD ) in France during the First World War: Soldiers pose with No.3408 at a suitable distance from the Western Front, sometime between 1914 and 1918. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums...rt=#entry170877http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=5134475Possible eye-witness http://www.gcr-rollingstocktrust.co.uk/articles_output.asp?id=12&checkSource=sitemapThe Ministry of Munitions initially borrowed some 600 locomotives from British railways for use in the Royal Engineer's Railway Operating Division for war work, the majority of them heading overseas. As the war continued and the strain on these engines and the home railways in general began to take its toll, the Ministry decided to commence locomotive construction on its own behalf and selected for this purpose the Robinson 8K design. Thus did the class 8K become one of Britain's most numerous and famous locomotive classes through the additional 521 ROD built engines. http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/m_in_260.htmGreat Western's maid of all work, the '4300' Mogul class, was first introduced in 1911 Eleven examples of the class were transported to France during World War I in the service of the Railway Operating Division of the British Army and these were 5319 - 5326 and 5328 - 5330. http://www.theworkshops.qm.qld.gov.au/ed...et_20071212.pdfIn France during September 1917, there were 546 steam locomotives, 355 petrol locomotives, 4,322 wagons, 623 miles of track in operation and 210,808 tons of supplies were carried.
