Minitrix 15692 N Set of 2 1st Class Passenger Coaches 'Grand Comfort', SNCF, Era IV: Elegance and Functionality in TEE Design

The Minitrix 15692 N set of 2 passenger cars combines comfort and functionality in a set that authentically represents the famous Grand Comfort cars of the French State Railways (SNCF) from Era IV. With a 1st class open-plan coach with luggage compartment and a dining car, this set represents the luxurious TEE service of the 1970s in France.

The prototype: SNCF Grand Comfort coaches

The SNCF Grand Comfort coaches were among the flagship trains in the international express service of the Trans-Europ-Express (TEE) connections. These coaches were known for their high level of travel comfort and stylish design. The open-plan coach with luggage compartment and the dining car played a central role in the TEE trains and offered first-class service and functionality.

Detailed replica and high-quality workmanship

The model impresses with its exact reproduction of the prototype vehicles. The precise printing and the detailed reproduction of the carriages, including the luggage compartments and the characteristic equipment of the dining car, give the set a high degree of authenticity. The coupling kinematics ensure realistic car spacing in the train set and guarantee smooth operation on your model railway layout.

Retrofittable LED interior lighting

Both carriages are prepared for retrofitting with LED interior lighting (item no. 66616). This makes it possible to illuminate the carriages atmospherically and emphasize the elegance of the interior. The simple retrofitting option makes this set particularly flexible and versatile.

Technical details

With an overall length over buffers of 318 mm and a minimum radius of 192 mm, the set is ideally suited for N layouts. The models are equipped with an NEM coupling shaft, which enables simple integration into existing train formations.

Typical applications

The set is ideal for replicating French TEE trains of Era IV. In combination with matching locomotives and other carriages, impressive international express trains can be put together to authentically represent the elegant passenger services of the 1970s.
