Model: HO gauge DC. The SNCF 2-piece EAD X 4317 diesel railcar with XR 8517 sidecar is a fascinating model that captures the atmosphere of Era IV. The model, manufactured by Jouef in 1:87 scale, impresses with its red/beige paint scheme that gives the train an authentic look. With a detailed interior, the EAD X 4317 diesel railcar with XR 8517 sidecar presents itself as a masterpiece of the art of modelling. Realistically reproduced seats and other interior elements provide an impressive detailed experience. The built-in engine with flywheel mass ensures a smooth and powerful ride of the model. In addition, the diesel railcar has a light change that changes depending on the direction of travel. In one direction the lights shine white and in the other direction red. This colour change depending on the direction of travel gives the model an impressive realism.
Founded in 1944, Jouef was an independent manufacturer of toy and model trains in the French Jura until 1972. The company was later taken over by the Lima Group. The Lima Group decided to continue production in Italy.
In October 2004, the English model railway company Hornby bought Lima and thus took over the brand rights and moulds of Jouef. Since 2006, articles under the Jouef name have been available in the shops again.
