Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class 5 (Locobase 7402)
Data from Titre Exposition universelle internationale de 1878 a Paris. Rapports du jury internationale..Volume Groupe VI - Classe 64. Rapport sur le materiel des chemins de fer. p. 56 (cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?8XAE277-11.1/54/100/312/0/0 (accessed 1 September 2005) table. Also see [

An Automobile Voiture is what British railways would later call an "auto train". Devised by the well-known Belgian engineer Alfred Belpaire, the "autorail" had two lightweight coaches ; one had 1st and 2nd class seating and the motor itself. Locobase notes with interest that these motors were larger than the tram locomotives used in the cities. They weighed more and had taller drivers; they seem in fact to have been a bit underpowered.
Class 6 (Locobase 7403)
Data from Titre Exposition universelle internationale de 1878 a Paris. Rapports du jury internationale..Volume Groupe VI - Classe 64. Rapport sur le materiel des chemins de fer. p. 56 (cnum.cnam.fr/CGI/fpage.cgi?8XAE277-11.1/54/100/312/0/0 (accessed 1 September 2005) table. Also see []
Like the "autorail" shown in Locobase 7402, this vehicle combined a passenger coach and the locomotive in one car; another carriage followed behind. This design was a bit smaller, but was of the same general arrangement.
