Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

Leboncoin is our version of Craigs List over here in France. I've decided to start looking there for steam engines and their related paraphernalia.
I've come across some interesting looking deals while looking for steam engines that were made in France. So far, the only company I have been able to find has been JC (Jean Comby) made in Paris under the UNIS FRANCE label of quality. UNIS is an acronymn for Union Nationale Inter-Syndicate, which was a consortium of independent manufacturers striving to establish standards of quality for French goods. I doubt it is still in effect today.
So, I've come across a couple of interesting steam engines on Leboncoin which you can see in the attached photos.
I find the art-deco one a bit bizarre.
I haven't decided if I will buy one or not. I like the non art-deco one the best of the two.
I'll post a video if I do acquire one.
Having fun in France.

They are a pretty common engine, especially in your “new” home. If you are looking to buy just one, I would hold off for a twin.

Both quite Fetching, even Elegant and Lovely, much as one might expect from their sophisticated French heritage!!!
