Against the wishes of his superiors — who viewed electric power as the future of French railroading — André Chapelon revolutionized steam engine design in the 1920s with some of the most efficient locomotives ever built. M.T.H. has recreated his pioneering 231 Pacific design and the later EST Class 241, as rebuilt in the Chapleon style.
