Hello Martin, First some good news about the real thing: The Baselland Transport AG (BLT) is awaiting planning permission to build an exhibition shed at Talhaus to hold the locomotive, one coach and a closed van. I don't know what plans or drawings you could find at the Verkehrshaus, there are however a few WB prototypes among the Studer Modellbaupläne, drawn for 0e gauge. See page 9 of 12: http://www.studer-modellbauplaene.ch/Planverzeichnis.pdf http://www.studer-modellbauplaene.ch/ Best regards Christian

Liliput has produced 2- and 3-axle coaches both with open and closed platforms. They're to release two new sets, although the lettering makes them era III (safe for the luggage van): http://arwico.ch/123/detail/167328/SBB-Oldtimer-2---3-achsig-4-teilig-C2,-C3,-B2,-F3.aspx Models with the old emblem can still be found in some places. As stated above, Brawa offers rather nice 4-axle and 2-axle coaches, but they would have been rather thin on the ground after WWI. If you suddenly found that you're a dentist or belong to the leisure class in general, there are numerous models in brass to suit that era...

Regarding your first question, your Ew I is part of the batch 50 85 20-33 420 to 444. They were never equipped for push-pull operation (c.f. the 33 instead of 35 in the UIC number).
