The OCEM 32 baggage van from REE Modèles, reference VB-320, reproduces the Series 1 of these baggage coaches in the green 301 livery characteristic of the SNCF Sud-Est Region. Numbered 50 87 93-20 132-0 and placed in Era IV, it fits naturally at the tail of passenger consists where closing the train calls for something more than an ordinary coach.
Functional rear lights as a defining feature
The three end-of-train lights work actively, making this van far more than a decorative piece. Placed at the rear of the train, the lighting adds a layer of detail that stands out in station scenes or on straight sections where the consist is seen in perspective. It is the kind of detail that Era IV French railway enthusiasts tend to appreciate in long-distance passenger formations.
Confirmed technical specifications
The model runs on two-rail analogue DC and comes fitted with a NEM 362 coupler with extension, making it easy to integrate into curves without straining the consist. The number 50 87 93-20 132-0 is confirmed in official REE Modèles sources and European specialist retailers. Released in November 2020 as part of Series 1 of the Fourgons OCEM 32.
Layout integration and consist building
In an Era IV passenger consist with SNCF rolling stock, this van closes the train with visual coherence: the Sud-Est Region green 301 pairs well with coaches in the same livery or in similar tones. Placed at the rear of the consist, the lit tail lights mark the end of the train clearly something that, on a layout with active running, delivers a visual effect well beyond simple track filling.
