The Arnold HN4336 set brings together three SNCF DEV Inox passenger coaches in N scale, covering Epoch III. The DEV Inox series is one of the most recognisable passenger rolling stock types from the post-war French railway network, and this set allows you to build a coherent consist with three different coach types: first class, bar coach and second class.
A French passenger consist ready to run
The set includes a first class A9 coach, an A5 in bar coach configuration and a second class B10. With a total length of 471 mm across the three coaches, the consist already has enough presence on the track to convey the feel of a real passenger train. The NEM 355 close-couplers with KK kinematics keep the coaches tight together on straight track and handle curves naturally, even at the minimum radius of 192 mm stated by the manufacturer.
Confirmed technical specifications
N scale (1:160), two-rail DC system. Coach designations: A9, A5 and B10. SNCF livery with French flag. No interior lighting or metal bodyshell, as per the official Arnold catalogue specifications. Manufactured by Hornby Hobbies Ltd. EAN: 5055286683572.
Layout integration and consist expansion
On an Epoch III layout with French infrastructure, these three coaches work well as the core of a medium-distance passenger train. If you already have an SNCF locomotive from the period, the set lets you complete a consist with immediate visual coherence. It is also a solid starting point for anyone looking to expand the train by adding more DEV Inox coaches from the same series.
