A story deeply rooted in the Provençal landscape.
The BB400 locomotives were delivered in the 1960s to modernize the Chemins de Fer de Provence (Provence Railway), the successor to the famous railway line in southern France. Their roles were diverse: freight transport, shunting operations in stations, and the gradual replacement of the remaining steam locomotives. Locomotive No. 402, in particular, played a pivotal role in regional rail services, contributing to the transport of passengers and goods at the heart of a unique network connecting the Mediterranean to the Alps.
A remarkable anecdote: It was not uncommon to see this shunting locomotive amidst spectacular landscapes, crossing viaducts and narrow tunnels, thus offering a typical image of Provençal railway charm.
This shunting locomotive faithfully replicates the BB400 No. 402 of the Chemins de Fer de Provence. Integrated sound, fine details, precise proportions, and robust construction give this model impressive realism and underscore REE's commitment to quality.
