N-Scale TGV



Prototype Information ?
The TGV? is the French high-speed train and is one of the best known trains worldwide.
Oddly, though, the name "TGV" does not identify one specific trainset, but actually a whole system of train, track and signalling. TGV? stands for "Train a Grande Vitesse." A loose English translation is "train of great speed."

The TGV? can operate at speeds up to 300 km/hr (186 mph).

French President Mitterrand opened the first section of the TGV? line to revenue service on September 27, 1981. The remarkable train was an instant success.
An excellent website about the TGV? can be found at http://www.trainweb.org/tgvpages/ Check it out! This is an extremely informative site about the TGV?.

Model Features ?
This latest production of the TGV? masterfully recreates the trainset in the orange & gray of the "Sud-Est" route.
Each 6-car set includes two pilot cars and four coach cars (one powered).
Pilot cars have directional headlights.
Orange & gray sets are packed in the traditional green, padded "bookcase" with snap closure.
