The BB 67613 in red Capitole CMR livery is one of the most recognisable versions of the SNCF BB 67400 series, and REE Modèles reproduces it in HO scale with a level of detail that is immediately apparent. Over 330 parts, a metal chassis, ABS body and applied metal details combine to produce a locomotive with real visual weight and presence on the track.
DCC with sound, smoke and directional lighting
Reference MB243S features a DCC decoder with sound, smoke generator and white and red LED lights that change according to the direction of travel. The five-pole motor with flywheel ensures smooth and quiet running, while the 21-pin connector makes any future work on the electronics straightforward. All of this in an Era VI locomotive that REE Modèles released in 2025 as part of its reference catalogue for SNCF rolling stock in HO.
A livery that stands out in any consist
The Capitole CMR red is one of those liveries that never goes unnoticed. On the layout, the BB 67613 has enough presence to head a passenger consist or work as a service locomotive in a depot or shunting area. At 198 mm in length and with a minimum radius of 360 mm, it fits comfortably into medium-sized track plans without requiring sweeping curves.
Detail and construction for Era VI in HO
The combination of metal chassis, applied details and over 330 parts places this BB 67613 at a level of construction that is equally impressive in motion or on the display shelf. For anyone working with SNCF Era VI rolling stock in HO scale, this REE Modèles reference brings visual and functional coherence to the collection, especially if passenger coaches or wagons from the same era and operator are already part of the layout.
