VB was taken over by the British Lines group as part of an not over successful attempt to market Tri-ang Railways in Europe. Tri-ang was also to fall heir to the former Hornby Acho range when they amalgamated with Hornby following the insolvency of Meccano. The Hornby name eventually became attached to the range, though it owes much more to Tri-ang. Ironically Jouef was also to become part of Hornby by way of Lima. Bob M.

I do not see a pdf part (blind, maybe?), but there are numerous scans of catalog pages. http://trainsdefrancois.free.fr/index.php
