First of a series of monoplanes designed and built by Emille Train at his base in a place called Mourmellon. Train used steel tube and this is where he was always behind the curve because unskilled labour at that time was unable to assemble this sort of material. However, because he used steel it gave him an advantage over his competitors as it did not deform in wet weather. The military ordered five or maybe seven. Always being underfunded he sold his facilities to Sanchez-Besa, but later went on to manufacture both cars and motor bikes but really making his fortune by the manufacture of slot machines.
