Description

1928 FRANCE LOCOMOTIVE BUILDERS PLATE
OUT OF AN OLD ESTATE SALE COMES THIS 1928 FRANCE TRAIN LOCOMOTIVE BUILDERS PLATE. I FOUND SOME HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY AS FOLLOWS.
One of the manufacturers which offered a design for the specifications was Batignolles-Châtillon. A subsidiary of the larger Batignolles, Batignolles-Châtillon was installed in Nantes, western France. Formed in 1917 as the Compagnie générale de construction de locomotives Batignolles-Châtillon (Eng: General Locomotive Manufacturing Company Batignolles-Châtillon), the company’s products were mostly linked to locomotive and wagon manufacturing, but already included some military aspects, such as the carriages of railway artillery pieces.
