    Best e-tailer for SNCF Stock

    in French Railways

    Posted

    I used Basarvalira to purchase an N gauge Startrain CC7100 electric. I was specifically after CC7140 which appears to have a premium, so was delighted to get hold of it. Service was not especially fast but the loco was packed very well and I had no extras to pay when it arrived. Interestingly it was posted in Spain! I would definitely recommend them.

     

    Pierre Dominique has a sale on at the moment with some heavy discounts on both HO and N locos and stock. I am trying to resist a Sybic electric at 69 Euros but these HO ones are only 49!

    They also have a couple of cheap BB17000:

    EBay madness

    in Ebay Topics

    I've just "won" a French Railway timetable and allowing for inflation I must have paid at least five times the list price. What's worse,the times of trains have changed quite a lot in the past sixty years and most of the lines I wanted to travel on seem to have been dismantled. The timetable is completely out of date and useless so what madness induced me to bid for it ? :no:

     

    Whatever you do, don't catch the train from Pau to Canfranc!

    3 car Class 150s

    in UK Prototype Questions

    This is all off the top of my head but the first batch of three car units were of the later batch of the 150/1. (150140-150150?). The 150/1's were eventially repainted into the Provincial livery that the 150/2's had so that they matched.

     

    The Centro ones were a later reformation and were from the first lot of 150/1's eventially being renumbered to 150/0's.

     

    I'm sure someone can give a more accurate response!

    I'll hang on for the A batch then. Cheers for the replies chaps. I have eight railfreight and one metals one at the moment - just looks a little on the short side behind a pair of 37's (502 &507).

     

    Nice looking wagons.

    Does anyone know of anywhere that still has the Railfreight livery ones (38-352) available? I could do with another couple to go with my rake. I'm getting the impression that these were the most popular of the three releases.

    Well done... I'm in agreement with everyone else on it being a really nice job (and we all know it will run nicely too)... can't help thinking that this should have been the variant that Bachmann should have done - those lovely bright livery options - but never mind you have got one all to yourself.... enjoy :)

     

    Hopefully sods law will now come in to play and they'll announce one in March! ;)
