140 Years Orient Express - A celebration in models in 0 and 1 Gauge

[sncf231e]

On October 4, 1883, exactly 140 years ago now, the first Orient Express left Paris going east. I'm celebrating with a video of models of the Orient Express in the larger gauges 0 and 1.

OK, it is N gauge, but for 10€ how does it look?

I presume there will be more to come.

I do not think there will be more to come. DeAgostini started an N gauge project and issued some track, this sleeping car and a Swiss electric loco. Then it stopped, presumably since it was not a success. These sleeping cars and the locomotive are available very often via eBay under the manufacturers name Darstaed, and of course I have one as can be seen in my e-book on models of the CIWL: http://sncf231e.nl/ciwl-carriages-by-fredsmall/

 

The RivaRossi N gauge version of this LX sleeping car is better, and the Kato version still better.
