ajh.co:20120714-124313 : Cite du Train: Est 141TC701 Mikado tank: An exceptional steam locomotive model is the latest arrival in the "Steam: How does it work?" permanent exhibition. It is a 141 TC 701 steam locomotive. In 1930, while engineers from the Epernay workshops of the Compagnie des Chemins de fer de l'Est were building two prototype tender locomotives, the apprentices in those workshops built a smaller, highly precise 1/5th scale model of the same locomotive. At the Cite du Train, the model springs into action every 20 minutes, allowing visitors to see the machine in operation and the pistons working under steam pressure.
