I haven't trawled through to see if this has been posted before but I came across a doc about the 'new' (in 1959) panoramic railcar, both building it and running. I didn't understand a lot of the commentary, spookily it's in French, but some of the cinematography is simply stunning and the print seems to have survived remarkably well considering it is nearly 60 years old.

Available affordably in HO from Joueff, if a bit elderly, and substantially more expensively from Mistral in recent times.

If I was starting all over again French Railways, both standard and narrow gauge, would certainly be an area of modelling interest for me.
