"Also, you know what they call steam locomotives in Paris?" "What do they call them?" "Locomotive à vapeur" "Locomotive à vapeur? Man, it's like those French guys got a whole 'nother language"

They were built and worked to spec for the task at hand. Can't ask for much more in a locomotive.

48 (+22)'s a pretty decent number for such a specially-built design, and honestly they look pretty good given what they are.

I only learned about this locomotive from Trainstation 2 again and it's quite fascinating. It looks like two locomotives crashed together and had a large boiler in between them. Fascinating tho. I didn't know some were built for broad Gauge. If you're considering French steam locos, how about the PLM Duplex? That's a fascinating one I'd like to hear.

Another great unique locomotive class covered today! I don't know which I find more intriguing from all the du Bousquet locomotives built, the native French or those exported to China. Honestly, it's quite remarkable that an engine of this design was only native to Western continental Europe and China with not one setting a wheel on American or British metals. I do believe I first heard of these engines by just browsing all of the locomotive pages on Wikipedia.

The French Railways (can't remember which ones. but they nearly all survived into SNCF days) had some SCREAMINGLY HUGE passenger tank engines that were quick, in fact, very quick, and pretty darned reliable - but not exactly economic. Maybe you can do them?

These were the last tank engines built for the company.
