WRG member David Thomas has an article on the fascinating Bastille terminus in Paris in Continental Modeller in February and March.
The terminus was entirely steam operated till it closed in 1969. David says "Some of the plans and timetables and the operating "graphiques" are inevitably a bit small and they didn't have room for all the diagrams so if anyone wants larger copies of my original scans do let me know. BTW Bastille's final throat design is incredible with simulataneous arrival and departure from any two platforms out of the five and all in just seven points lengths (Minories requires five for three platforms with fewer simulataneous workings)".
