Contrary to what is stated on the site at Rail Route trains, these model trains are not 1:160 scale but 1:143.5 scale.
Information from France where I used the SNCF Mistral locomotive and carriages some years ago for a lot of money, a price considerably higher than stated here in the collectors catalog.
It is quite a collectors item, even in France.

It is true that the scale is not 1:160, but 1:143 (according to the cardboard boxes).
Because this is a small manufacturer with this scale, this scale is not mentioned separately in the model train scale table. At that time, the closest scale was chosen. The correct scale is stated in the Comments field.
Information about the possible scales can be found in the Modelspoor Handbook (page 13) that you can view when you click on a new item to be added.
You can pass on the remark about the incorrect prices to collector Rapido, who is also the manager of the Model Railway section.
The SNCF Mistral locomotive with the accompanying carriages are indeed rare. I've never come across them at trade fairs, etc.
