Wonderful. The Nez Cassé design does so distinctively stand out from all the rest. When growing up in the Netherlands, they were of course a very common sight and highly regarded. They just looked so majestic. A few in NL are still in use but not by the NS any-more. The most distinctive livery of them all came from Captrain. They painted one in French livery which does look fabulous. Pity that almost all of them have been scrapped, with just a few remaining in freight service and one sitting at the rail museum in Utrecht. Thank you so much for this fascinating upload.
Very informative as ever! in my opinion, the design of the french electric locomotives from the 1950s to the 1970s far surpassed that of the e.g. german engines of the same era - also in terms of color scheme! strangely enough, Paul Arzen's automotive designs don't look anything like his locomotives.
What a pleasure to see such a great collection in action. Thank you! Plus a fabulously illustrated documentation of the great role models! Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks!
Excellent! I grew up with the NS 1600 series and the 1200 series. The SNCF 72 series surely looksthe part! Interesting history to it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Model and thanks for the history of the prototype - awesome collection. Enjoy ;-) Bo

Glad you enjoyed the video, Alsthom produced an important class for a quite a few countries indeed. Thanks for your time today.
Love this one! Amtrak did test one in America, but the stiff suspension did not work well with the low quality track at that time.
This is very generous of you, many thanks!
Excellent in depth as always Interesting that the Dutch market was bigger than the French
Glad you enjoyed it
