1969-70 Catalogue

New locos this year consisted of the tremendous Class 141R 2-8-2 steam loco which, at an exhibition in Le Bourget airport, Paris had hauled a train of 34 bogie wagons up a 1 in 20 141R gradient without stalling. A nice Co-Co diesel CC72001  was also introduced but the black version of the 0-8-0 tank loco disappeared. The signal gantry was introduced to complement the colour light signal .

New coaches were limited to two 4 wheel models of vintage 19th century Parisienne suburban design, which had also been marketed under the Playcraft label.

The freight side had a bogie tanker 'Butagaz' and a large bogie cattle van (both just made it into theButagaz tanker Playcraft range) together with the original bogie refrigerator van in 'Nestlés Lait' (milk) livery. 

The Telecommande system was also included with examples of various applications.

Slot cars were still going strong but the Brik system was now confined to only one page.

1969 once again included 'Un amour de petit train' ('A cute little train') with some more of the Egger-Bahn range added.
