Nice wagons. Multiple metal inserts: handles, photo-etched steps, transmission rods, or plastic: door locks for example. The plastic access ladders to the ice boxes are quite thin. The grid of the refrigeration unit is photo-etched. But the group’s support, which should be openwork, is not.
Due to the presence of the refrigeration unit, the length over buffers is slightly increased: this was respected by LS Models.
The roofs are too dark, almost black; compare with the real model photo.
The axles, fitted with brass bearings, are swivelling. But, as with other wagons, the pivoting is illusory: some axles are tight, and the small moulded return springs do not even bear on their support!
Axle characteristics: see table of dimensions.
There is undoubtedly a mistake on the revision dates — difficult to read: 1966, for wagons delivered in 1969!
