This was a small A5-sized catalogue printed on a
coarse paper with pages in B & W and yellow.
It included the standard 'Triage' (shunting)
0-4-0 tank No:708 and a Wild West version with a
cow-catcher
(left) as well as the SNCF Bo-Bo world record holding locomotive. The
original chosen number of 9003 was soon superseded by 9004 based on the
actual loco that broke the world record, hence 9003 is a rare model.
Also included was the Bo-Bo BB9201 quoted as being
available with either one or two motors, but in fact it was fitted with
the later renowned 'saucisson' can motor with drive to either one or both
bogies.
Coaching
stock included the 1st and 2nd class stainless steel (Inox) in plastic and
CIWL Pullman cars of tinplate. Wild West 4 wheel Pennsylvanian coaches
were made to accompany the triage 'Wild West' locomotive. Freight stock was limited to some open and closed
4-wheel wagons and a tanker.
Interesting
items included the clockwork 'Diabolic' locomotive, two plastic 1/87 scale
SNCF buses, six cars of differing makes and the goods shed and covered
platform screw-together kits (which were still being produced 30 years
later).
The 2-rail track at this time was similar to Tri-ang
Standard track but with a black plastic base and pressed steel rails. Also
available were clockwork versions of the locomotives and clockwork track
similar to that produced by Hornby Dublo pre-war.
The pricelist was a separate insert
