Some Michelines were built in the United States by the Budd Company. Most Michelines were self-propelled, but a number of locomotive-hauled trainsets were also produced. Michelines offered unprecedented ride smoothness, but they soon proved to be problematic because the low load that the wheels could bear limited railcar sizes and demanded a high number of tyres (up to 20) per car.

The vehicles have wheels with rubber tires that run on rolling pads inside guide bars for traction, as well as traditional ...s, pioneered by the RATP (Paris transit authority) which introduced the ...
