Ree Models offers a OCEM van 30 "VILLENEUVE" ex-PO from the SNCF, with 2 end of convoy lights and controllable doors, roller boxes, grilles at windows and smooth roof under reference VB116S.
The OCEM 30 "Villeneuve" ex-PO SNCF van was a specific type of van used by the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF) that was formerly in service on the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans (PO) network. These vans were also based on the general design of the OCEM 30 vans, but bore the name "Villeneuve" in reference to the town of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, where there was a large freight wagon depot. The OCEM 30 "Villeneuve" ex-PO van was used mainly for transporting luggage and general goods. It was designed as a bogie wagon with a steel structure and wooden side walls, like the other OCEM 30 series vans. It was equipped with sliding doors on the sides to facilitate loading and unloading. It is important to note that the term 'ex-PO' indicates that these vans were formerly operated by the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans (PO) before the nationalisation of the French rail network in 1938, which gave birth to the SNCF. After nationalisation, the ex-PO OCEM 30 "Villeneuve" vans were integrated into the SNCF fleet and continued to be used on the French rail networks.
