Vintage Standard or O gauge trains made in France?

[TeddyB]

Hi all!

I'm wondering if anyone can identify the Engines in the lower part of the picture? I was told they were made in France? And they were Vintage, maybe Standard or O gauge? Did France make any Hobby trains back then?

It would be nice if you would take close up pictures of each piece. The tender in the background looks like a Lionel postwar tender made in New Jersey. The streamlined steam locomotive looks like a pre-war Lionel piece to me. The orange boxes are all from Lionel also. The other things I cannot tell anything about them.

With the exception of the house in the upper left corner and the tender and the cab portion of a steam engine in the lower right everything else is Lionel either pre or post war.  As for French - the biggest manufacturer in the pre-war and post-war period would have been JEP.  Another would have been Rossignol.  If you type in "JEP trains france" in Google you will find a great deal about the trains and the company.  As for the house and the engine/tender in the lower right - there's too little in the picture to tell.
