Daniel / Fatman / lewrail : Well its Friday here in central Texas and while assembling some trains for photo's I had an idea. I decided to assemble a "budget version" of that beautiful "Riviera Blue" train and subsequent 1S loco that Daniel posted using my N OE SNCF engine and some of my little blue Pullman cars. I know from some information you provided Daniel that the engine here is from about 1953 and while it has a similar body to the pre-war 1S series the motor is completely different. Of course mine is also marked S.N.C.F. which would make it post nationalization. The Pullman cars are also French Hornby and are marked "Sirie Hornby" "Fab en France, Mecano, Paris" and were made from 1947-1957 so also match the 1953 era of the engine.
Here she is, moving her small train down the main line.
Here is a better view of the consist, two Pullman cars.
Here is a short video of her in motion.
Well Happy Easter everyone...have a great weekend
Don
