A complete original train set made by CR for Charles Rossignol in France, I think it dates from around 1940. The streamlined engine is typical from that period and was a symbol of modernism. The trains made by CR are very specials, they are made of thick tin, very colorful and mainly toy collectors have a specific appeal for them. They are less sought after by train collectors as despite being O gauge they are a little small and their running ability is not the best, despite having more interest in bigger pieces from Lionel, Jep, Hornby and many others I have always kept this one maybe as finding an original boxed model is fine, finally I will restore this one and test it next weekend, it is specified having an automatic reverse and needs a wheel axle on the passenger car, also missing the corridor between tender and car but all of this is an easy fix.
And some accessories also from CR
