That is pretty neat....I have never seen that French version before. That would look great in color....the SNCF logo and colors are very nice....thanks for showing!

Jacques--
A belated thanks also for your very interesting post on the development and history of that remarkable little vehicle. And you are right...those of us growing up in S. Calif. never saw or even heard of these other than the Dinky model. But for a while, they sure served a purpose!

Gunner,


The mechanical horse which you posted is one of those made in France under Scammell by F.A.R.
Meccano got the trailer right but they used the wrong tractor which is much to big for the trailer.
