JOUEF HJ2613 – X 4697 + XR 8694 “Pays de la Loire”

Among the series of X 4630 “Caravelle” railcars, during visits to the Nantes Blottereau between 1985 and 1989 depot some units were modernized on behalf of the Pays de La Loire region.The white livery they received on this occasion quickly earned them the nickname “Ambulances”. In the early 2000s, the last unit of this mini-series was based at the Lyon depot of Vaise, a depot specializing in diesel railcars.The new JOUEF Loisirs model replicates one of the famous “Ambulances” (X 4697 with XR 7694) combining an affordable price with a solid drive mechanism (all four wheelsets of the railcar driven), electrical couplers with close-coupler mechanisms between railcar and trailer, NEM 362 coupler pockets at both front ends and the best possible amount of detail.
