These cars are detailed replicas and add a piece of French railroad history to any H0 model railroad layout.

The prototype: Era III tank car

In Era III (1945-1970), tank cars were an indispensable part of freight transportation. They transported liquid goods such as mineral oils, chemicals and other liquids. The three-axle 'ESSO' tank wagons with their striking silver paintwork and red logo were present on many European railroad lines and are a symbol of the industrial boom of this period.

Jouef - quality and attention to detail in model making

The wagons impress with their precise workmanship, true-to-original lettering and fine details that will make the heart of every model railroader beat faster.

Technical details of the Jouef HJ6294 set

The two tank wagons are manufactured on a scale of 1:87 (H0) and each have a length over buffers of 246 mm. They are designed for the 2-conductor direct current system (DC) and have an NEM coupling mount, which allows easy integration into existing train formations. The minimum radius for the use of these cars is 356 mm, which makes them suitable for most model railroad layouts.

Era III: The heyday of railroad traffic

Era III was characterized by reconstruction and modernization. Many new types of wagons were introduced during this time and freight traffic experienced a boom. Tank wagons such as the 'ESSO' models played a decisive role in the transportation of raw materials and finished products and are therefore an indispensable element for model railway enthusiasts who want to recreate this era.
