TGV-2N_1.jpg (71550 bytes)

TGV-2N experimental set (Prototype for TGV Duplex), seen entering the Paris-Lyon HSL, heading South. This set was formed in late-1991 with: • 3 newly-built double-deck trailers; and • The 2nd-class end-trailer of TGV PSE set No 70, remodelled as a lab; and • 2 TGV Atlantique power-cars: 1 from set No 370 + 1 spare, then 2 from set No 330 (with TGV Réseau high-power brakes). Later on, these were replaced with those from TGV Réseau set No 502. This prototype ran trials until 1994, at up to 350km/h. In 1995, the power-cars returned to revenue service, while the trailers were stabled. Lieusaint-Moissy. 1992.

TGV_Dx_257_Modane_1.jpg (137307 bytes)

Hybrid TGV Duplex set No 257 (Batch 3), seen at Modane, after running on a Ski service. While this set features Duplex trailers, 1 of its 2 power cars comes from TGV Réseau set 519 (Z-28038), whose single deck-trailers are now used on TGV POS set No 4401. This is due to an accident which damaged 1 Duplex power car of set No 257 (Z-29114) in April 2004. There is no restriction to such hybrid formations, as Duplex sets were originally to have TGV Réseau-style power cars (1989/1990). Only in 1992 did SNCF change its mind and opted for state-of-the-art power-cars. Such formations will become common use from 2006 onwards, as 15 Duplex sets (bare trailers, batch 5) will get 30 (cascaded) TGV R power-cars. In turn, 15x8 TGV R trailers are to be re-formed with 30 new POS power cars, so as to run on Paris-Zurich/Stuttgart/Frankfurt, using LGV Est. Modane. February 2005.
