Background:
The famous “030 T” meter-gauge locomotives operated all over France and in many other European countries.

The loco can also be equipped with an onboard ESU digital sound/motor decoder and ESU Pulsed Smoke Generator. This loco can also be equipped with firebox lights.

The Prototype:
Narrow gauge steam engines were the main product of the L. Corpet Locomotive Works in Paris. After the death of Lucien Corpet, his wife continued running the firm with the help of Monsieur Louvet, the name of the firm became Corpet-Louvet et Compagnie Although the firm still exists, it stopped building steam locomotive in 1952. Until that time it had manufactured 1880 locomotives, most of them narrow gauge.
This LGB model is a reproduction of the firms famous Type 030T meter-gauge locomotive. 826 of these beautiful locomotives were built, and they were used thought out France and in may other European countries. Indeed, the 030 T is considered to be a classic example of narrow gauge steam locomotive.
