Original orange TGV Sud-Est set no. 08 "ROUEN" (10 pieces) - Kato 10-2134 - N 1/160

Relive the early days of high-speed rail in France with this Kato 10-2134 set , reproducing the legendary original orange TGV Sud-Est in a 10-car configuration , numbered 08 with the screen-printed nickname " ROUEN ". This N scale (1/160) train is ideal for creating an SNCF Era IV layout and recreating the atmosphere of the mid-1980s .

The model recreates the appearance of the pivotal period: after the central car was replaced by a bogie with air suspension (airbag) and before the SNCF logo disappeared from the front. The characteristic front curve extending from the front window to the roof, as well as the " SNCF " marking on the front connector cover, are carefully reproduced.

A key feature of this edition is the faithfully recreated AC section pantograph , just like on real trains running under AC catenary.
