This Jouef miniature wagon is a very fine reproduction of a railway container ship (reference HJ6195). This miniature model is made up of a flat wagon and two mobile caissons from CNC Transports, an SNCF subsidiary specialising in combined transport. The rolling stock is designed to run on a 1:87 scale miniature rail network. This freight wagon dates from the IV era, so it can be a real addition to a game scene themed on France in the 70s and 80s.
The model in this reproduction is a type S68 container wagon loaded with two 20-foot containers from the Compagnie nouvelle de conteneurs (CNC Transports) . Many details are reproduced, despite the reduction coefficient:
- two highly detailed bogies
- four metallised axles
- the SNCF-CNC marking of the containers
- many moulded or engraved details
Technical specifications:
Length excluding buffer: 212 mm
Coupling: with loops
