Jouef put on market a large range of train sets in order to be the French market leader, by using a low cost policy against others brands, and
by train sets changes with new boxes or new contents but remaining the train sets names.
Most of train sets could be easily identified with the help of the Jouef catalogues or Jouef price lists. One difficulty, during many years,
the Jouef catalogues did not included the train sets range. An other difficulty, under the same given name (for example "Paris-Rome" train set),
the train set contents could change from one year to an other year.

Jouef made also a large range of train sets for departments stores like Monoprix
or Prisunic
for the Christmas period.
These train sets have different content from the Jouef regular range in order to not enter in competition with train sets sold by the Jouef retaillers. We can find some specific color rolling stock in those train sets.
These train sets were sold first without brand, then for some of them under the Punch
brand.
This train sets inventory is difficult due to the lack of available documentation.
