1965 Catalogue

Although the cover was in colour this catalogue was similar to those which went before but was printed on better quality paper.

This year saw the introduction of the Autorail Unifié 300CV  'Picasso' 2-car DMU, the delightful bo-bo BB13001 TEE 40101 co-co13001 bo-bo'Metz -Thionville' centre cab electric locomotive (left) and the 'quadricourrant' co-co locomotive CC40101 (right) in red and silver which was provided with two matching Trans European Express (TEE) coaches.

The range of coaching stock small but the main CIWL and TEE coaches now came with interior lighting as did the 'Picasso' trailer car. the brake coaches came with operating tail lights.

New wagons included the Algeco cereal hopper, the Kronenbourg beer van, Evian/Badoit mineral water van and the fourgon.

The range of buildings was straight from the Playcraft range with the addition of several stations.

The French model railway press of the day enthused about the models.
