Designed by the DEA (Division de Etudes Autorails) of the SNCF, the RGP 2 (Rames à Grand Parcours bimoteur) are equipped with 2 Renault type 517 engines developing 300 HP at 1500 rpm, the same type of engine that is also found on the X 3800 and X 2400 railcars. Built in 20 copies from 1954 to 1955, the RGP2 are composed of an X 2700 power car and a XR 7700 trailer equipped with a driver's cab, the whole constituting a non-deformable unit in normal service. The RGP2 can be coupled with each other and with the RGP1. They receive an olive green and cream livery, very different from the red and cream livery of the other railcars being delivered, which will earn them the nickname of "green lizards". Fast and comfortable, the RGP2 are used on direct connections between big cities on long routes, and on some international connections to Geneva, Cerbere or Frankfurt. Less fast than the single-engine RGP1s, which benefited from progress in the fields of motorization (825 HP MGO diesel engine) and transmissions, the RGP2s slowly lost their assignment on many long-distance trains to the benefit of the RGP1s alone. The RGP2s were gradually regrouped in Bordeaux and assigned to less prestigious regional services, before being withdrawn from commercial service in 1986.Characteristics :5-pole motor with flywheel included in the power car.

Shipping charges vary based on the order value and destination. UK standard shipping costs range from £4.99 to £7.99, with additional surcharges for heavy items and non-mainland UK destinations, including specific regions like Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey. We do not ship to PO Boxes and BFPO addresses.

International shipping starts at £18, with varying costs and delivery times based on destination zones. Access Models does not ship to certain countries including Spain, USA, and Australia.
Customers may encounter customs fees on international orders, which are not included in our shipping costs and are the responsibility of the customer. In case of postal losses or damage, claims may take up to 30 days to process, and we require customer confirmation to initiate this process.
Returns are accepted within 14 days for change of mind and 30 days for faulty items, in line with the EU Distance Selling Directive.

Please be advised that we will require payment of re-postage costs before the item is dispatched again. This fee will cover the costs associated with handling and shipping the item to you for another attempt.
We strongly encourage customers to provide a delivery address where someone will be available to accept the parcel at the time of delivery to avoid the inconvenience and additional costs associated with re-posting.
