Compañía Internacional de Coches-Camas closed van

[sncf231e]

The CIWL (Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits) owned only a few non-passenger cars. The only closed van they had was owned by their Spanish branch (Compañía Internacional de Coches-Camas) and located in Irun.

 

The Spanish company Electrotren made an H0 model of this car and later Arnold made a model in N gauge. Both of these models were not 100% correct but based on a model they already had in their range:

 

 

The Arnold N gauge model is based on a German G10 wagon. Since the (Spanish) wooden kit maker OCCRE had a kit in gauge 1 (1:32) of this G10 available I "copied" the Arnold design and made a 1:32 model of this Spanish van making decals with the correct Spanish lettering.

 

Models of this van wagon other CIWL goods wagons can be seen in this presentation:

 

More pictures of these and many other CIWL models can be seen in my free to download e-book on this subject: http://sncf231e.nl/ciwl-carriages-by-fredsmall/

What about the night ferry fourgons ?

[sncf231e]

The Night Ferry fourgons were not owned by the CIWL but by the SNCF and SR. They did not wear the CIWL name. And a presentation of models of these fourgons would be very short
