Adjacent to the Train du Pays Cathare et du Fenouillèdes (TPCF) at St Paul de Fenouillet is this working narrow gauge line which appears to be a simple double track oval in a garden setting. The photograph shows two trains of four wheeled open passenger coaches each hauled by what appears to be a pair of home built locomotives. It is possible that the train engines were in fact dummies whilst haulage was provided by the pilot locomotives. The impression was gained that the train was positioned to provide a run-past when the TPCF train passed by on the adjacent standard gauge track. Note how the breeze block wall has been painted to given the impression of the train running along a viaduct!
