“Coupe Vent” or windbreaker locomotives incorporated riveted V-shaped steel plates attached to the locomotive’s boiler face, chimney, and cab to improve streamlining. Unique to France, locomotives of the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean (PLM) line featured “Coupe Vents” to contend with the powerful “Mistral,” a strong wind that blows north to south through the Rhône River Valley. Märklin produced this clockwork toy example in 1909.
