H0 Roco 7310095 Diesel locomotive Y 8208, SNCF "FRET" gray-green DCC digital sound

Diesel locomotive Y 8208 of the French National Railways.

■ With digital shunting coupling for more play value
■ Drive unit and gear block made of zinc die-cast, therefore more weight and high tractive effort
■ Finely detailed construction with many plug-in parts and freestanding handrails
■ Prototype-accurate lighting and sound functions switchable via onboard decoder
■ Unobstructed view through the reproduced driver's cab
■ With a buffer capacitor for uninterrupted power supply

In July 1977, from Moyse's factory rolled out the shunting locomotive (called Locotracteur in France) Y 8001 as the first representative of a 525-unit series for shunting tasks in SNCF stations, marshalling yards, construction sites and workshops. Stronger and longer than its predecessors, these could also replace certain locomotives for the operation of light freight trains on the line.
The Y 8000, upon entering service, received a livery leaning toward the BB 63500, dominated by orange and complemented by brown and white. In this scheme most of them have carried out their careers with all successive SNCF logos up to the current Carmillon. Some were repainted for the corresponding activities to which they were assigned: Fret, Infra or even TER.

The model is only partially operable with analog drive gear.
