La Grande Encyclopédie des locomotives françaises - les autorails – Tome 2

The outward appearance of railway equipment of the same type has often evolved as a result of technical imperatives: improvements, modernizations, rebuilds or the creation of variants for export. Their decoration reflects the trends of the time, the company's communication strategy, but also the constant transformations of the railway world.

Despite increasing unification, French rolling stock has never been so varied and colorful. This diversity has inspired Thierry Leleu, who has devoted thousands of hours to listing all the variants and restoring their liveries, from the most classic to the most surprising.

This second album in this unique encyclopedia is devoted to the railcars that run or have run on the French national network. It lists railcars from the SNCF, its predecessors, private and foreign companies operating in France, as well as exported versions.

Each railcar type is given a full description, including at least one photo, a diagram and elevation drawings of all known variants.
A must-have for rail, model rail and industrial heritage enthusiasts, eager to discover every detail of French railcar history.
