A Bogey Louvre, or Bogie Louvre, has nothing to do with the Louvre in Paris. A bogie refers to a class of train, wagon, or trolley with a chassis contaning wheels. The Louvre, as refered to in "Whistle up the chimney" (Storybook) is the wooden lining on the sides of the carriage, in the style of French louvres, which would allow air to circulate through the carriage. The bogie Louvre refered to in the book was also most likely a JLX 33820bogie Louvre van built by Tulloch Ltd. in 1969 and used to carry general freight around the NSW rail system and inter-state.
