I have seen a lot of these on Danish and Swedish train stations, during my childhood and youth. Where a driver toke postal stuff/things from one place to another.

I've worked every angle on this but just can't come up with a picture, even though we all know what it is

Aktungbby · 09-23-20, 04:54 PM

what is it actually called? A 'tracma' tug or cart donkey??

skidman · 09-23-20, 06:03 PM

tracteur de gare

Aktungbby · 09-23-20, 08:33 PM

In looking half the night, at everything jimbuna posted as well, I came across this but passed on it still hung up on 'Tracma'!! Still cannnot find the Swiss photo yuo referenced but this looks good: from railroad Modelling....Where's our model train guy, Gargamel, when you need him

at least its 3 wheeled, green with a yellow stripe

This is a cute matchbox tracteur Aktungbby: Actually it's a later model by the same manufacturer that runs on butane (notice the little red gas container behind the seat).

I think everybody has been trying really hard to solve it, I can not make you suffer any longer. So:

Googling for pictures with "tracteur de gare" (with quotation marks) gives us this:

The picture is on a website published by some French railway enthusiasts:

http://www.cfchanteraines.fr/lvdc/lvdc0243/depot4.htm

And the picture's cutline says: "La remise en route du tracteur Griffet touche à sa fin."

Now, picture-googling for "tracteur Griffet" brings up some promising results:

And on the corresponding website

https://www.zerotrois.ch/index.php/203/derivate

we find:

and

Whoohoo! So its a "3R" built by "Etablissements M. Griffet Constructeurs Marseille".

I want one for Christmas and I love the sound of the horn

ETABLISSEMENTS MAURICE GRIFFET are a bunch of real estate agents today (I hate real estate agents).

Aktungbby's picture counts as the closest approach. So, please step in

Yes, this should be it:

Also called "chariot de gare" or "chariot à bagages" in french. Here you can buy it in HO scale:

This was a nice one

Would never have got that in a million years and imho is by far the hardest puzzle yet on this thread.

Aktungbby · 09-24-20, 06:27 AM

I spent a lot of time looking for 'Marsailles contractors' building ''Tracmas' with 4 cylinder Peugeot engines

So it's to me by a nose eh? I'll be back with something good!

Jimbuna · 09-24-20, 06:46 AM

Not too hard, give some of our heads a chance to stop spinning

I here by move that skidman be permanently banned from this thread.

Yea that was a really good one. Very unique object. On more than on occasion I just gave up.

Kudos skidman.

Have you added the artistry to the photo?

Nope, I merely snipped it freeform. @UCrank, I thought the astronaut photo on the moon was tougher... with Eich and Mapuc all saying they'd seen the three wheelers "all over", more a matter of picking the right French word: 'tracteur' or 'chariot' instead of 'tracma' de. baggage;" which tended to be airport equipment....
