Some new trains from France, they are from C R aka Charles Rossignol and have been made from 1928 to 1939. CR products may be compared to Marx from USA, light tin clockwork models but they also produced some bigger models in electric mode and in O gauge 3 rail.
For the moment I just have cleaned two electric models and fixed the alimentation which is high voltage. Notice that the motors run well with a 20 volts transformer. I still have to clean the original oval of tracks and I will have another engine and cars at the end of the month.
The locos are representatives of the models running under catenary in that period in France, the grey one has been made with and without pantos and sometime presented as a metro model but it is not realistic; after all they are toys so all is allow....
You may find a good history of the brand on the TCA website here https://www.tcawestern.org/rossignol.htm
Have a nice weekend, Daniel
