    Hi all.

    I don't know if we have any French loco experts here, but I am looking for drawings and archive material from the above company, Moyes.

    I recently found out that they built 3 60-cm bogie locos for the Porto Ambiom Railway in Angola. Sadly, all three locos have been scrapped, so there is nothing left of them except the odd photo like I have put up below

    Might be worth contacting the Statfold Barn railway.
