LR Presse opinion:
"Fascinated by trains from an early age, Robert Nobécourt never ceased, throughout his life, to accumulate first-rate documentation which he used, in retirement, to produce small notebooks inventorying the rolling stock that had run in France. One of these notebooks (handwritten) is reproduced in facsimile. After a brief introduction by the author to the PLM's carriages and their locomotives, followed by a few pages of tables (containing statistics and inventories), we get to the heart of the matter with many pages of handwritten colour diagrams showing all the company's passenger rolling stock, including Bugatti railcars and the company's famous Aerodynamic Train, with its distinctive livery. This is first-rate documentation for anyone who loves the PLM, but the model builder will also be delighted, as Robert Nobécourt has done a great deal of research to rediscover the old colours that were forgotten with the advent of SNCF green! In short, indispensable for all lovers of pre-1937 railways."
