Injection plastic molded model with body painted and fine details decoration with interior seats.
The new Magnetiz® coupling is slim and discreet. It addresses the main criticism of Z-scale rolling stock: the traditional hook coupling is too prominent and unattractive.
Its ultra-compact design minimizes the gap between cars, making train consists look more realistic.
Developed by AZAR MODELS, the coupling uses powerful neodymium micro-magnets to create a strong and reliable connection, helping prevent accidental uncoupling, even in long trains.
The system also features an innovative clip-on fitting for the coupling. When not in use, such as at the front of a locomotive, the coupling can be removed easily by pulling it out.
To keep the couplings slim and discreet, each item is fitted with a north-pole magnet at one end and a south-pole magnet at the other. If you need to turn a car around in a train, simply swap the north- and south-oriented magnetic couplings using the clip-on fitting.
The fitting also makes it easy to replace the magnetic coupling with a traditional hook coupling, ensuring compatibility with existing rolling stock.
A traditional hook coupling is included with every AZAR MODELS item.
Corail cars are passenger cars of the French National Railway Company, put into service between 1975 and 1989.
The baptismal name “Coral”, which also applies to trains made up of these cars, is a portmanteau word formed from “comfort” and “rail”. This name popularized by advertising also evokes the bright orange color of the doors which characterized the first livery of these cars.
Their original livery, light gray with a band of dark gray windows and orange-coloured doors, contrasted with the “wagon green” of previous generations. They are characterized by the generalization of air conditioning, their qualities of comfort, suspension and soundproofing, as well as rolling (equipment of anti-slippers on all cars and aptitude for 160 km/h and 200 km/h) . Their massive commissioning, with nearly 4,000 units, has enabled a real leap in the quality of SNCF passenger service.
