A different form of public transport.

For one point, please respond and identify the builder of these vehicles. Further on, tell me when and where this picture was taken.

Is the event the jubilation around the coronation of George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George)?

Wendax · « **Reply #11 on:** September 22, 2012, 06:41:40 AM »

Not from or in the UK, no kings involved

A Worlds Fair?

Yes

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** September 22, 2012, 06:55:58 AM »

It is an electric train at the 1937 Paris World's Fair. I am looking for its manufacturer

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** September 22, 2012, 07:17:37 AM »

Yes, it is. That was the easy part. Nice picture, BTW.

Locked for you for one try.

SCF Verney?

Wendax · « **Reply #17 on:** September 22, 2012, 01:21:04 PM »

The logo at the front (which I didn't know before) surely consists of the letters S, C and F. I don't know whether this is the SCF Verney logo. My source claims a different builder though.

Open to all again.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** September 22, 2012, 01:37:01 PM »

Well, my source says that SCF Verney had exclusive rights for electric trains and electric taxis at the 1937 show. As SCF Verney was a builder of railcars, it doesn't seem surprising that they built such things too

Wendax · « **Reply #19 on:** September 22, 2012, 02:56:34 PM »

I guess you are right and my source (a French magazine) is wrong. The logo at the front convinces me. I had another train builder: Jourdain-Monneret.

One point for you.

Thank you

Same kind of train, different location:

Two more Trocadero + World Fair Trains, 1937, from SCF:

SACO · « **Reply #23 on:** January 09, 2013, 06:30:31 AM »

SCF mean : Société Centrale de Chemins de fer

grobmotorix · « **Reply #24 on:** January 09, 2013, 12:50:07 PM »

So, what do you think - is it just a logo of the company running those vehicles like SNCF - or was SCF the manufacturer of them?
