OcCre's impressive 1/32 scale wood and metal model kit contains all the parts necessary for you to create an accurate replica of the Pacific 231 locomotive. Photographic instructions make building easy. Dimensions: Length: 730mm Height: 150mm Width: 100mm Gauge: G45 / 45mm The first locomotive of this type arrived in Spain in 1911, brought in to work for the Compañía de los Ferrocarriles del Norte, having been built by the Société Alsacienne de Constructions Mécaniques, in Mulhouse, France. The success of these fast and powerful locomotives meant that they were ideal for pulling large, fast express passenger trains, both in Spain and France. In fact, Pacific 231 trainscontinued in active service in France right up until the sixties. This locomotive, which was also known as La Princesa, represents one of the most glorious pages in the history of French railway transport. Pacific type locomotives, during their many years of service, pulled some of France's most famous trains, such as the Fléche d'Or.
