Product Description
CF de Camargue
Bogie coach B20-25
The CF de Camargue was a metre gauge railway running from Arles on 4 lines.
Transportation of salt was one main reason for lines to be built. At Arles salt was transferred to standard gauge wagons.
From the start steam was used, but supplies of good quality of water led company to look for alternatives to steam power, and started to plan to convert to electric power prior to WW1, which delayed project . Work started in 1920s and continued up till 1930s.
Electric locos were introduced in 1932. Each had a freight compartment, so were part loco/part railcar. They were used on both passenger and freight trains.
Electric railcars(automotice) were also introduced for initial electrified lines.
Bogie coaches were supplied by La Buire from the start.
New bogie coaches were supplied at same time as electrication.
In 1949, Decauville supplied 4 new lightweight aluminium coaches fitted to old bogies. Longer and wider than existing coaches they were often used in singles.
The railway was finally closed in the 1950s, but much of the station and workshops at Arles still exist at time of writing.
Model based on known measurements ,drawings and photos
Scale TT3 (1/100 3mm/ft)
