Building in progress of the transport of an overhauled SNCF rail coach to a French railway museum (painting of various elements still pending):   - Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4163 SLT 2.3 8x6/4 tractor (Conrad model) fitted with a removable ballast carrier body (modified Siku element) loaded with 2 concrete slabs of 4.37 tonnes each (homemade), - 2 Nicolas 3-line modular trailers (modified Corgi elements), - De Dietrich UIC-Y VRU 2+2-axle self-service restaurant coach of 48.5 tonnes (modified Lima(*) model),   Note (*): the Lima model is assumed to be in the Italian 0 gauge (1/45) and measures 49cm in length: the SNCF wagon being 24.5m long, that gives a precise 1/50 scale model instead. Regards. Guy
