X 73500 Nord Pas-de-Calais


Miniature Model


I found a somewhat cheap X 73500 from Jouef:

X 73505 - Jouef HJ2390S

I know that those engines ran in Nord Pas-de-Calais for a short time. While looking online, I found that CJ Models provides decals to make exactly those:


On the page for this item, it says that details are provided in the following magazine: RAIL MINIATURE FLASH RMF N°595 FEVRIER 2015




Real Engine


With the decals and Wikipedia, here's the list of X 73500 that ran in the region:
