Electric locomotive BB 26052, concrete livery, cap logo, SNCF
Analog model, 8-pin decoder NEM652, 2-rail DC from Piko reference 96154

Real model: The BB 26000, nicknamed "Sybic" (a contraction of "Synchronous" and "Dual-current"), are designed to haul both high-speed passenger trains at 200 km/h and heavy freight trains without changing gear ratios. Built by Alsthom and MTE, they were delivered to SNCF between 1988 and 1998, with a total of 234 units. The Sybic are the most powerful locomotives of the SNCF. The BB 26052 features the concrete livery with the cap logo, characteristic of Era V.
Specifications:

Dual-current universal: Capable of operating under 1500 V DC and 25000 V single-phase 50 Hz, these locomotives can haul either a passenger train at 200 km/h or a freight train at 100 km/h, without any modifications.
Power & speed: Maximum power of 5600 kW, maximum speed of 200 km/h, weight of 90 tons, total length of 17.71 m.
Synchronous traction: The first mass-produced machines of the SNCF to adopt three-phase synchronous traction, a technology developed on the prototypes BB 20011 and 20012 and also deployed on the TGV Atlantique.
Depots: Delivered to the Dijon-Perrigny depot, then distributed to the Lens and Villeneuve depots, used on major passenger lines and long-distance freight services.
Livery: Concrete with SNCF cap logo, characteristic of Era V (1990s-2000s)
