Product description : Bus Renault TN6 C

Model car Bus Renault TN6 C

It was in the early 1930s, after the suppression of the Parisian and suburban tramways, that the first buses of the "TN" series were built.
The progress made by the automobile industry, especially in the field of tires, made it possible to design buses with fifty or more seats.

The buses of the "TN" series were equipped with 4-cylinder engines of 58 HP for the TN.4 and 6-cylinder engines of 94 HP for the TN.6 family.

The vocation of the TN.4 was the service of small and medium lines, on flat ground, whereas the TN.6 with more powerful engine was the one of long suburban routes and lines with strong slopes, like Montmartre, Ménilmontant or Belleville. The TN.6A and TN.6C were physically identical, the only difference being in the wheels.

The TN.6A had full rims, while the TN.6C had removable rims, called artillery rims. The versatility of the TN.6C was legendary among machinists. During the war, the buses were equipped with a gas system, either Imber or Gohin - Panhard.

After the war, the main modification of the TN.6 buses was the "vestibulage" of the driver's cabin, in order to offer him a minimum of comfort during the winter months.

The replacement of the "TN" buses started in 1960 and the last one was withdrawn in 1969, 38 years after the first models were put into circulation.

Scale : 1:24
The 1:24 scale is mainly used for models of cars, motorcycles and aircraft.
It allows a high level of detail.
For example, a motorcycle model in the 1:24 scale will measure 4 inches / 10.4 cm if the original motorcycle measures 2.5m in length (250/24 = 10.41).
A plane in the 1:24 scale will measure 1 foot 6 inches / 45cm in length if the aircraft model is 11m long (1100-1124 = 45.8).
