Cette machine était en 1955 co-détentrice du record du monde de vitesse sur rail, avec la CC 7107. Si cette dernière a conservé en service sa ligne d'origine, ce ne fut pas le cas de la BB 9004 qui, après un re-looking, donna la série des "Jacquemin".
This engine was in 1955 co-holder of the world record of speed on rails, level with the CC 7107. If the latter kept in service its original look, it was not the case of the BB 9004 which, after a re-looking, will result in the long line of the "Jacquemin" series.
Ending an era... Nicknamed the "treshing machines", 2D2 model 9100 are the last electric engines with this particular axles arrangement. Heavy to overhaul, they have been deposed by the new BB models, lighter from far and very easy to maintain, with at least equivalent performances. But the 2D2 machines nevertheless had their hour of glory on the "Imperial Artery" Paris-Marseilles, in particular when hauling the Blue Train.
L'une des nombreuses machines de la lignée des BB "Jacquemin"... (ici en tête du "Mistral"). C'est souvent avec ce genre de modèle que l'on met les doigts dans le train miniature... Et qu'on est définitivement accroché...
One of the many engines of the BB “Jacquemin” series… (here at the head of the “Mistral”). It is often with this kind of model that you put fingers in the miniature train… And become definitively hooked…
