Kato N 101763 Ouigo 10-Car Passenger Set

OUIGO (a coined word sounding like “we go”) is a high speed passenger train service started in 2013 targeting mainly youngsters and families. Not only were all the train cars made 2nd class cars, but by employing non-ticket system like in airplane service and making in-train services charged options and setting the fairs so low as busses or car sharing, it appeared as an “LCC (Low cost carrier) high-speed train version”. At the beginning, it started from Gare de Marne-la-Vallee – Chessy, the closest station to the large theme park in the Paris suburb, but currently starts also from the metropolitan terminals and major stations.

Enjoy running an European high-speed train along with 10-1529 TGV Reseau Duplex or 10-1657/1658 Thalys PBA/ PBKA new color.

Features:
A new molded body of the locomotives at both ends of the train represents the closed dent beneath the windshield and the added antenna.
A new pantograph is employed. Pantographs for AC and DC are made differently from each other.
Bright blue train color, large polka dot painted on each car and logos characterizing OUIGO are beautifully represented.
Handrails and door sills for crew rooms as well as door handles and door rails for passenger cars are represented in silver.
All the passenger cars interior is represented in sky blue.
Power unit with flywheel is employed to achieve stable run.
Head/taillights light up (bulb color LED adopted) Replacing the LED with the dummy PCB supplied with the train will represent the status that two locomotives are connected directly with each other with lights tuned off.
20-car train formation can be realized like the real train by removing the coupler cover from the tip of the locomotive and using the drawbar supplied with the product.
DCC friendly (6-pin DCC socket can be fitted to cars M1 and M2. But the CV29 value should be changed and reverse the control head/taillights.)
