VO2N TER Picardie

 

For quite a while, I thought that BB 15000 were pulling VO2N units from Picardie. But as it turns out, the BB 15000 are pulling V2N which are actually not modeled at the HO scale.


Prototypical VO2N TER Picardie


Some pictures of the real thing below. Three types of engine can pull those units:

  • BB 25500
  • BB 17000
  • BB 16500

These units have been modeled by Vitrains with two references: 1018 and 3033

The link above actually has details about the Vitrains models and how to install lighting - here's a link.
