The E. Train Establishments in Courbevoie built motorcycles and, in the 1930s, several aircraft engines, including two-, four-, and six-cylinder engines wer made.

-Below we show a 1936 advertisement offering engines in this range.

-Except for an unconfirmed horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine (1924, 12 hp), the previous ones were inverted cylinders, in-line, and air-cooled.

-The two-cylinder engine was known as the Train 2T model.

-The 2T Train engine, a four-stroke engine, was a derivative of the 4T engine that appeared first. Its power ranged between 21 and 25 cv. It weighed about 31 kg.

-The drawing below shows it with the mounting for the plate-type propeller, with the bolts and front plate, which are not visible in the previous photographs.

-The 2T engine has been seen in several “Pou-du-Ciel” models.

-The 4T engine has a power output between 40 and 50 hp at 2,300 rpm. The displacement was 2010 cc.

-It was used on the Carmier, Chilton DW1, Tipsy S-1 and 2, Payen AP-10, etc.

-The 6T engine gave 60-70 hp, displacing 3000 cc. Below we show a new photograph,by Joe Gentler, of the 6T from the Establisements Train in Courbevoie.

-It manufactured 2-, 4-, and 6-cylinder engines (see main text). The 6T gave 60 hp, and the photos were taken at the Seattle Museum of Flight (SMOF).

-Train has also been noted to have 4A, 4E, and even a 6D models.

-The 75 hp 6D.01 was installed on a Morane-Saulnier MS-560.
