Jouef HJ6229 H0 Set of 2 Taoos swing-roof wagons, VTG-FRANCE, Ep. V 'Simotra': Authentic freight wagons for your model railway layout

The Jouef HJ6229 H0 set of 2 includes two four-axle swivel roof wagons of the type Taoos from VTG France from Era V, designed in a grey color scheme with the inscription "Simotra". These detailed models bring the freight traffic of the 1990s realistically to your model railroad layout and are an ideal addition for collectors and model railroaders who value historical accuracy.

The prototype: VTG France Taoos swing-roof cars in Era V

The Taoos type hinged roof wagons were developed for the transportation of sensitive bulk goods such as cement, lime or grain. The hinged roof protects the load from the weather and at the same time enables easy loading and unloading. In Era V (1986-2006), these wagons were an integral part of European freight transport and were used by companies such as VTG France and Simotra.

Jouef - precision and passion in model making

The Jouef brand has been known for decades for its high-quality model railroads in H0 scale. With great care and attention to detail, Jouef produces models that are both visually and technically impressive. The HJ6229 set is another example of the brand's commitment to authentically reproducing historical railroad vehicles while meeting the highest quality standards.

Detailed design and authentic color scheme

The two swing-roof wagons impress with their authentic gray paintwork and lettering with the "Simotra" logo, which is typical of Era V. Finely worked details such as the lettering, hinged roofs, loading openings and chassis have been precisely implemented. The realistic reproduction of the wagons gives the models additional authenticity and makes them an eye-catcher on any layout.

Technical features and compatibility

The models are manufactured in H0 scale (1:87) and designed for the 2-conductor direct current system (DC). They have NEM coupling shafts with close coupling kinematics, which enables reliable operation and easy integration into existing train formations. With a length over buffers (LLP) of 372 mm each, the wagons fit seamlessly into your freight trains and ensure a harmonious overall appearance.

Era V and European freight traffic

Era V was characterized by the modernization and internationalization of rail transport. Specialized wagons such as the Taoos swing-roof wagons reflect this development and represent the progress made in freight transport at this time. Companies such as VTG France and Simotra used these wagons to transport sensitive goods safely and efficiently.
