Dear Fred,
it seems to me that Mr. Heinen wanted to built a Baden State Railway Class IId in DRG Livery.
Probably IId Nr. 745 would have been DRG 14 451, but it was scrapped before being renumbered.

Hi
Thank you for your reply. I love the model. I love Wagon Lits, and Pullman. One of my best friends is Antony Ford, author of many Pullman books and a world expert on Pullman, and Wagon Lits.
Can you advise me, I would like to consider making this kit. I am used to modelling in wood. I have made many model ships, including Amati. These include all the cannons rigging etc But I have never used soldered metal. Do you think , in your opinion that this kit is within my capability. I have attached some images of my models.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
Of course I have and have read some of the books on Pullman by Antony Ford; he indeed is a specialist (I am still searching for Pullman Profile No 2).
I think that If you can make such a beautiful ship model it will be very much in your capabilities to make the Amati CIWL LX kit. There is no soldering involved. Note that the kit when build according to the instructions, which are very clear, is a static model. To make it a running model some changes, especially on the frame and the bogies, are needed. I made a description of the build on a Dutch forum: https://forum.beneluxspoor.net/index.php?topic=81704.0, but of course this is in the Dutch language
Regards
Fred
