That’s a very unusual train that articulates in the middle. Good luck making the needed repairs

It came apart easily enough, but I worry about the 'tabs' breaking.

Nice purchase Harry ! I thought of you this morning. There were no less than three vide greniers today on the Île de Noirmoutier. I only managed two after 0930 mass in le Vieil. In the Noirmoutier town one the first (and only) train I saw was an early 70’s Jouef pacific like your red one. It’s in very good condition, just missing a smoke deflector which I’ll either fabricate or just remove the other one. Mecanism seems fine, but I haven’t got a 9V battery or a model railway here to test it! I’ll get a battery tomorrow… the gentleman wanted 20€, which sounded good to me, so I offered him 15€, which to my surprise he accepted !Then again, it was a proper vide grenier, no dealers at all! We ended up with some nice things for not much expense. Enjoy getting your railcar running (O gauge ?) Rob (another ex pat) PS Is the railcar from the 1930’s? The livery looks to be pre nationalisation of 1937.

I didn't look for any brocantes/vide greniers today, I have chickens to look after! I haven't done the 'research' on this railcar, but it is marked SNCF, I suspect it to be 1950s.
