Model: HO gauge DC. The 2-piece SNCF EAD X 4317 diesel railcar with XR 8517 sidecar in the impressive "Pays de la Loire" livery of Era V is an absolutely detailed model from Jouef in 1:87 scale. This model evokes a good atmosphere on your model railway layout with its interior and the realistic design of the original. The built-in motor with flywheel mass ensures impressive running characteristics and smooth operation. A special highlight is the light change of the model, where the colours change between white and red depending on the direction of travel. This effect gives the railcar an even more authentic look and makes for an impressive driving experience.
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.
