MOTORIZED PILOT CAR OF THE FAMOUS TGV SNCF of the FRENCH RAILWAYS HIGH SPEED TRAIN (TRAIN GRAND VITESSE) IN THE BEAUTIFUL ORANGE LIVERY. THE BODYWORK IS THAT OF THE DEL PRADO, REALLY WELL MADE, I POWERED IT WITH A KATO/TOMIX MOTORIZED CHASSIS, WITH A CENTRAL ENGINE WITH BRASS FLYWHEELS AND CARDAN DRIVE ON THE 2 FRONT AND REAR TRUCKS AND ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ON THE 8 WHEELS, THE WHEELBASE AND INTEREST IS ALMOST PERFECT. TRACTION IS INCREDIBLY SMOOTH EVEN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. I PUT A LIGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. GRAY TROLLEY COVERS AND I WILL SEND YOU 3 MORE DIFFERENT GRAY SETS THAT CAN BE EASILY REPLACED AS YOU WISH. ON THE REAR ENGINE CHASSIS THERE IS A STANDARD ARNOLD QUICK "S" HOOK BUT IT CAN BE REPLACED WITH ANY OTHER. THE PANTOGRAPHS ARE IN LINE WITH THE TGV STANDARD BUT THE PRAD.
