Corpet-Louvet

In 1912, the firm moved to new premises at La Corneuve, and a limited liability company, Corpet, Louvet et Compagnie was formed.

The last steam locomotive was built in 1953, but the company is still in business, manufacturing "Caterpillar" earth moving equipment under licence.

The first three locomotives were built for the Compagnie d'Orsay and were named L'Yvette, L'Orge and Le Florian.

The majority of Anjubault locomotives were sold to contractors building new railway lines in France.

Metre gauge six-coupled tank locomotives formed the bulk of Corpet-Louvet's production until the outbreak of the First World War.

Works numbers 1409 - 13 were 0-6-6-0 Mallets built for the Chemin de Fer du Centre.

During the Second World War, Locomotives under construction when Paris was overrun were completed, but some of these could not be delivered to their intended customers, and saw service in France.

The first locomotive delivered after the liberation of Paris in August 1944 was works number 1875, a standard gauge 0-8-0T of similar design to those built for Krupp.

The last locomotive, works number 1962 was ordered by the Houillères du Bassin d'Auvergne but subsequently cancelled.
