43420 TGV POS Add-on Set #1.

Prototype: French State Railways (SNCF) TGV POS (train à grande vitesse) high speed train, in the version for service between Paris and Southern Germany. 1 intermediate car (R2), 1st class, and 1 intermediate car (R3), 1st class. The newest paint scheme. The cars look as they currently do in real life in 2009/2010.

Model: 2-part add-on car set for lengthening the TGV POS high speed train, item no. 37790, to a 10-car unit. The cars have factory-installed interior lighting with maintenance-free, warm white LEDs. The interior lighting is powered through a continuous electrical connection through the entire train. The two intermediate cars are permanently coupled together. There is a guide mechanism in the Jakobs trucks. The cars are a scale reproduction. The minimum radius for operation is therefore 360 mm / 14-3/16", when there is sufficient clearance on both sides. Length of the pair of cars 43 cm / 16-15/16".

Highlights:

Completely new tooling.

Factory-installed interior lighting.

Warm white LEDs for lighting.

The 37790 basic set can be expanded with the 43420, 43430, and 43440 extension sets to a prototypical 10-car unit.
