HO scale TGV

Does anyone know where I can purchase an HO scale model of the French TGV Sud East? It doesn't matter what manufacture.

Hi

Many years ago I got a Jouef TGV Atlantique set with additional cars (total of 5) ; I heard from my hobby shop that many could still be available but I'm not sure which company now owns the assets from Jouef. Although a bit noisy he train runs fine ; I added 16 pennies under the floor of each car to get the proper weight and it never derails. The pantographs could be wired to really work. My kids love it.

Good luck.

A couple of years ago I was in San Dimas at the Train Stop and they had a TGV in Ho scale, I had never seen one in Ho before, I even took a picture of it. I'm not sure if they still have it of not, it is a great passenger train set, I would love to have one for myself!
