the station of St Jacques des Blats, Auvergne, France

A steam train arrives at this station in the northern reaches of the Massif Central with the Puy Griou in the distance.  The line is still in use but not the station.  That water tower (chateau d'eau) is quite something.  Below is a working scale model of the station featuring a Tortillard volant, or flying slowcoach railcar.
