This article is about a railway construction company. For the cue sport, see billiards.
A Billard draisine, once circulating on the Réseau Breton and preserved by the ACFCdN.

Établissements Billard was a French railway rolling stock 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.

Production

Draisines

  • Draisines : These worked on different VFILs, and for the "Big Companies" which became the SNCF.

Locomotives

Billard Locomotive Y 7200
  • T50
  • T75D
  • T75P
  • T75G

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

  • Differents types of locomotives, forming part of the Y 7100 series, constructed for the SNCF.

Railbuses

Billard railbus N° 314, type A 80D, from the Chemin de fer du Vivarais

Railbuses for numerous French VFIPs (secondary railways)

  • Type A 80D,
  • Type A 135D,
  • Type A 150D,
  • Type A 210D,

Several European networks

A Billard train for the Diakofto railway (Greece), made up of two cars with a motor van containing a generator to power the traction motors.
  • In Greece
  • In Spain
    • A Micheline was built in the 1930s for the PO
    • Thre buses with bogies on a wide chassis worked on the Nord-Est.
    • A series of railbuses with two axles were built for the CFD and the SNCF in 1949 and 1950
    • A series of FNC railbuses were deployed by the SNCF

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

Preserved Billard rolling stock

Locomotives

type T 50

type T 75, in several variants (with the series prototype, and some military examples) on the Tacot des Lacs, at the Train Touristique de Saint Trojan and later at APPEVA.

type T 100,

Railcars

Meter gauge

type A 150D

  • X153, Portes les Valence (bespoke).

type A 150D

type A 80D

type A 150D2 Articulated

Trailer R 210

Standard gauge type A 75D

Rebuilt and modernised vehicles

Trailing car X 1337 of the Chemins De Fer de Provence, rebuilt by Établissements Garnéro
