In Don Phillips column a month or so ago, I saw a reference to some fall fan trips with SNCF 241P17. These were supposed to be German or Brit style (as opposed to French).
Can anyone tell me some facts or provide a contact?
Thanks

What do you mean exactly? At least the locomotive type 241P is an entirely French design.
Mr. Phillips mentioned that there was a fan trip planned this fall that follows the German/British/US format where they had photo stops, run-bys etc. Any info?
I know the design as I spent two years chasing round France trying to photogaraph them with only limited success. At that time, there was a mid morninig departure from Vierzon to Clermont-Ferand which was my usual target.
Thanks
How many 241P loco.s are in steam and available for rail tours ? – saw one in sw Switzerland this summer in St Solpice at the museum there – 241P30 but not in steamable condition
AFAIK, there is only one 241P available for rail-tours. At least two other locomotives are preserved, but only for stationary use.
Looked on the website for 241P17 - seems to have lots of information and appears to have some trips lined up - but it,s all in french –
