Product Features and Details
Built from 1963 to 1970 by the Ateliers du Nord de la France (ANF), each of this first series of 151 EAD railcars (Elément Automoteur Diesel, running numbers X 4301 – X 4451) consisted of a 330 kW railcar and a fixed coupled trailer with driver's cab.
The Poyaud diesel engine drove a mechanical transmission with an 8-speed gearbox. The X 4300 achieved a maximum speed of 120 km/h and could be coupled together in multiples of up to three, as well as with the X 4500 and X 4900 railcars.
The new JOUEF Loisirs model replicates one of the famous “Caravelles” combining an affordable price with a solid drive mechanism (all four wheelsets of the railcar driven), electrical couplers with close-coupler mechanisms between railcar and trailer, NEM 362 coupler pockets at both front ends and the best possible amount of detail.
