These images show the overall appearance of the set. The model features a color scheme based on bright light orange and black.

The lead vehicle is an electric locomotive nicknamed “Fers à Repasser” (“Flatirons”), known for its distinctive central cab and long hoods.

The railway crane in the center is designed as a rail-mounted crane used for accident and derailment recovery, loading and unloading heavy equipment or materials, and maintenance or construction work. The crane includes an extending boom function. Please see Image 8 for details.

A support wagon is also included to carry the crane boom and outriggers. When running through curves, the model can move more smoothly by loosening the cable or removing the crane boom.

The tank wagon does not have any special functions, but it is designed with a simple and clean appearance.

The electric locomotive can be motorized with Powered UP components.
