CF d'Etat double deck steam railmotor

The French railways used a lot of double deck passenger coaches, often referred to as Bidels. The CF d'Etat experimented with a version with a steam loco fixed at front end and driven on one loco wheel. 2 examples were built, but only lasted 10 years and were not very popular due to excessive vibration caused by the steam engine. No photos exist, only some drawings from which a 3d printed design has been produced.
