Roco 72010 diesel locomotive Y 8296, SNCF, Ep. IV-V Product Details

Description

In July 1977, the Y 8001 shunting locomotive (called Locotracteur in France) rolled out of the Moyse factory as the first of a series of 525 units for shunting duties in SNCF stations, marshalling yards, construction sites and workshops. More powerful and longer than its predecessors, these could also replace certain locomotives for the delivery of light freight trains on the line.

The model can only be operated to a limited extent with analog locomotives.
