Billard

Établissements Billard was a French railway construction company based in Tours. It specialised in light railbuses and metre gauge and narrow gauge rolling stock. The business ceased trading in 1956 and later became Socofer.

These were designed for the French Military Railway. They were used, among other things, to service the Maginot Line.

Railbuses for numerous French VFIPs (secondary railways)

Several European networks

The solidity of the stock, and the simplicity of construction, means that many Billard engines are still working today.
