Model: 2-part add-on car set for lengthening the TGV POS high speed train, item no. 37790, to a 10-car unit. The cars have factory-installed interior lighting with maintenance-free, warm white LEDs. The interior lighting is powered through a continuous electrical connection through the entire train. The two intermediate cars are permanently coupled together. There is a guide mechanism in the Jakobs trucks. The cars are a scale reproduction. The minimum radius for operation is therefore 360 mm / 14-3/16", when there is sufficient clearance on both sides.

• Factory-installed interior lighting.
• Warm white LEDs for lighting.

 
Charlie's tip:  The 37790 basic set can be expanded with the 43420, 43430, and 43440 extension sets to a prototypical 10-car unit.
 
This add-on car set can be found in a DC version in the Trix H0 assortment under item no. 23444.
