Pierre, it is a 222 loco, or 444 for US. So we didn't speak of the right loco before....
This one is originally brown, or chocolate color. Same type of motors and reversing, manual with a lever on the back of the boiler or with an electro system in the tender. It has been manufactured between 1937-1952. Two types of wheels, pick up in brass with one or two and different type of motors.
It will run perfectly with a ZW, no problem at all.
The first models are marked NORD on the tender sides, and when the SNCF, national fench railways formed by reunited private companies, the tender marking SNCF appears. Reunification has been made in 1938 but the change may have been done a little later, in 1939 it was the second world war and toy production was not the most important thing of that time.
It is a very nice model, here is a photo comparing it to a 255e Lionel from the same period. 054 curves is a minimum to enjoy the engine running.
