USI B10t U61 coach, SNCF - Models World MW40031 - Illuminated HO

The SNCF USI B10t U61 passenger car from LS Models MW40031 faithfully reproduces a typical second-class USI (Unified Domestic Service) car from the SNCF passenger fleet of Era IV . 609 of these cars were built between 1962 and 1974 to supplement the UIC car fleet and operated for many years on national and regional routes.

USI coaches provided numerous services between major French cities as well as on secondary lines, becoming a very common passenger rolling stock on the SNCF network. Their distinctive silhouette and Y16 bogies make them an iconic piece of rolling stock from this period.

This reproduction by LS Models stands out for its high level of detail, featuring a complete interior and factory-installed LED lighting . The lighting is compatible with both analog and digital operation, allowing for easy integration into a passenger train on an HO scale layout.

The carriage is a replica of a second-class B10t U61 equipped with independent heating and bearing the SNCF logo in a yellow frame , characteristic of certain liveries from Era IV. Its registration number is:

• 50 87 20-40 579-6

With a length of 290 mm , this HO scale (1/87) model fits perfectly into a train composed of USI, UIC or DEV cars on a network representing SNCF passenger services.
