I spent Monday in Mulhouse at the French national railway museum. It's BIG!
Some impressive stuff there. Well worth a visit.
Noticeable that practically everything French built was a compound, and a
prediliction for inside axle boxes on trailing pony trucks and bogies, unlike
the UK where outside axle boxes were pretty well de rigeur to keep the ash out.
So I got a key ring for the wife's collection. Other than toy key rings, one
had a choice - either a TGV or Mallard! In France........perhaps it shows that
they know superiority when they see it!.
It was interesting to see the only remaining Crampton, too.
