The Y2201 shunter by REE Modèles, reference MB-221.S, reproduces in HO scale this small SNCF diesel unit in its characteristic livery: green 306 with red crossbeams and black chassis, typical of the Région Nord in Era III. At just 65 mm long, it is one of those pieces that takes up little space on the track but brings a lot of life to a well-composed railway scene.
Digital with sound straight out of the box
The MB-221.S version comes factory-fitted with a PluX16 digital decoder and integrated sound. The front and rear lights white and red switch automatically depending on the direction of travel, adding visual coherence to movement on the layout without any additional configuration. The 360 mm minimum radius makes it compatible with medium-sized layouts without demanding tight curves.
A unit that lives on the margins of the layout
Shunters like the Y2201 are a familiar sight at the back of stations, on service tracks or at the ends of a depot. On a layout, placing one on a secondary track or beside a freight platform adds activity to the scene without needing a long consist. Alone or pushing a couple of wagons, this model brings that sense of everyday movement that makes a layout feel alive.
