The Stef version (ref 433009) has a gray roof and SKF roller axle boxes. Obviously the numbering is different (the fifth) from other models already released but not only that, there are also the revision dates and the home station “Paris-Batignolles” specific to this model.
The other inscriptions always comply with the model and SNCF standards. ​
The Marcel Millet version (ref 433010) has a white roof, its “brother” has a black roof.
It bears the address of rue Ordener in Paris, the company's former headquarters before its move to rue de Leningrad.
Date of revisions and other inscriptions are in tune with its time.
The registrations and other inscriptions are affixed in black directly to the body without a black underlay pad. Different registration number to form a realistic set with its brother.
In reality, Millet had 4 wagons of this model, so you can bring them together in a convoy without anachronism or even doubling the composition to create a beautiful cut.
