Details

Edition of 80 sets. Prototype: 69 units of this K4 type USI passenger car (unifiées de service interior) were taken over by NMBS from the SNCF in 1994. In 1995 they got a dark red color with a white line under the windows. However, they turned out not to be suitable for rush hour traffic. In 2000 they were leased by NS, but NS had problems with the maintenance of French equipment and in 2006 the cars were taken out of service. This type of car had a maximum speed of 140 km/h (later 160 km/h) and was built by ANF from 1962. A total of 194 first class and 609 second class cars were produced. The set contains three 2nd class and one 1st class car and is produced by Modern Gala in China. It is the first track N model from LSModels. Modern Gala went bankrupt in 2015. Note: the NS version was for sale under catalog number LS 4002.
