 le loco SNCF CC7107

This is the early version with long bogies and motor in the body driving one bogie

This is the later version issued c1967 with a completely new 12-wheel drive chassis. The motor was mounted in the underframe housing between the much shorter bogies and drove a layshaft which ran the length of the loco above the solebar to both bogies. The chassis was also fitted to the NS1308 model which was only issued by Playcraft in the original NS blue livery.
