Description

Jouef HJ6287 H0 set of 2 gas tank wagons with sun canopies, SNCF, Ep. IV: Authentic addition to your model railway layout

The Jouef HJ6287 H0 set of 2 includes two two-axle gas tank wagons with sun canopies from the French state railroad SNCF from Era IV, designed in the colors of the company "Air Liquide". These detailed models bring the industrial freight traffic of the 1970s and 1980s realistically to your model railroad layout and are a must for every model railroad enthusiast who values historical accuracy.

The prototype: SNCF gas tank car in Era IV

In Era IV (1965-1990), gas tank cars were an indispensable part of rail freight transportation. They were specially developed for the transportation of liquefied gases and often had sun protection roofs to regulate the temperature of the contents and thus ensure safety during transportation. The company "Air Liquide", a leading supplier of industrial gases, used these wagons to transport its products across France and Europe.

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 HJ6287 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 gas tank wagons impress with their true-to-original paintwork and lettering in the "Air Liquide" design, which is typical of SNCF Era IV. Finely crafted details such as the lettering, valves, ladders and the characteristic sun canopies have been precisely implemented. The realistic reproduction of the boilers and chassis 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-wire 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 240 mm each, the wagons fit seamlessly into your freight trains and ensure a harmonious overall appearance.

Era IV and the SNCF: change and modernization

Era IV was a time of change and modernization for the French state railroad SNCF. New vehicle types were introduced and freight traffic underwent significant changes. Specialized wagons such as the "Air Liquide" gas tank wagons reflect this development and represent the progress in rail freight transport at this time.
