Ree Modèles offers a OCEM van 30 from the SNCF, with vigie, ex-PO, bearing boxes, window grilles and black riveted roof, black tips under reference VB109.
The SNCF OCEM 30 van with lookout, ex-PO, was a specific type of van used by the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) that was formerly in service on the network of the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans (PO). OCEM 30 vans were bogie vans designed for the transport of luggage and general goods, and those with a lookout were fitted with a raised platform at the end of the van to provide better visibility for the driving staff.These OCEM 30 vans with lookout were built on the basis of the general design of OCEM 30 vans, with a steel structure and wooden side walls. They were equipped with sliding doors on the sides to facilitate loading and unloading of goods. The lookout, located at the end of the van, allowed an agent to monitor the track and report any anomalies or possible dangers. The term "ex-PO" indicates that these vans were formerly operated by the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans before the nationalisation of the French rail network in 1938, which gave birth to the SNCF. After nationalisation, the OCEM 30 vans with ex-PO lookout were integrated into the SNCF fleet and continued to be used on the French rail networks.
