This year was interesting
as the primary series for toddlers 'Chou-Chou Baby' was introduced
(left) with a
battery-powered loco running on plastic track similar to Tri-ang's Big Big
train but nothing like scale models. On the grown up front the models were improving
and the new 4-8-2 Mountain class 241P was a fine example.
Another new model
was the class CC6500 co-co electric loco. The only addition to the coaching
stock was a 'Gril Express' modern restaurant car (right).
The freight vehicle range only had a new bogie tanker which appeared in 'SMTS' livery. Similarly the narrow gauge was unchanged. On the buildings side more new models were introduced and the Telecommande system was now called 'Jouef-matic' and examples of its use covered three pages.
