@Tili This is an interesting comparison with the post above with the TGV looking sleek and fast. This looks completely the opposite and what can we build from the spare parts lying around. Do you have any info on who built it and what work if performed. Certainly is an "oddity", thanks for sharing.
I found information about it here (in French) Chemins de fer de l'Hérault — Wikipédia
Here is an auto translated screenshot.

Here is on one more angle for ya. I love the looks of it tbh.Thanks @Tili, they certainly sound quite unique. I did find a three quarter view of the preserved one and the whole of the body is covered in ventilation louvres and gives it a very "workman" like appearance.

Good Morning,
The photos presented here were taken by my Dad during the 1930's (he was an engineer and an avid photographer), using a Kodak Retina I - 35mm, and scanned by me with a Canoscan FS-4000. The train, "Coronation-6220" was on tour in the US for the 1939 World's Fair in New York, shipped from Great Britain, shortly before WWII. The location looks to be the City of Providence (Rhode Island), judging by the domed building in the background. The camera he used is currently getting a CLA, and hopefully will be put to use again (by me) this summer.
Regards,
Edd

That is an incredibly jarring image. I've seen a lot of train tracks, but I don't think I've ever seen heavy gauge rail and cars sharing the same right of way.
