PMP

Market leader in France immediately after the 39-45 war, PMP was instrumental in bringing HO gauge back to the forefront of miniature electric trains.

Initially, the first production involved a Sprague-Thomson type metro train sold in boxes, virtually impossible to find today.

Very quickly PMP designed a slew of electric locomotive models in line with the actual output of the machines, such as the CC 7001 or the BB 9004, giving a real impression of modernity at the time. In fact, this is why there are virtually no steam engines apart from this Boër 030 much sought after by collectors.

The early alternating current power supply, which complicated the reversing of locomotives, was soon replaced by the creation of a much more efficient and responsive direct current motor for network construction.

The company's expansion was real in the 1950s. Competition from the Jouef brand with really cheap products, put an end to development in the early 1960s which forced the company into bankruptcy.

Son of Robert Leplat, founder of the company with Pierre-Marie Pillon, I have kept the memory of the company in its broad outline and I wanted through this site to share it with you.
