Prototype:

3 different four-axle sleeping cars painted and lettered for the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et des Grands Express Européens (CIWL) / International Sleeping Car Company, for the Simplon Orient Express. Each in a steel blue paint scheme. The cars look as they did at the beginning of the Thirties.

Highlights

• Anniversary of 100 Years of the Simplon Orient Express 1919-2019.
• Factory-installed LED interior lighting.
• Current-conducting couplers between the individual cars.

Model: The models are finely constructed with many separately applied details. The cars have different car numbers. All of the cars have factory-installed LED interior lighting and factory-installed current-conducting close couplers that can be uncoupled. The interior lighting is powered by a pickup shoe on one baggage car in the 42790 car set. The current-conducting close couplers can be replaced by current-conducting fixed drawbars included in the set.

Total length over the buffers 72.7 cm / 28-5/8".

Product info: This express train passenger car set serves to lengthen the 42790 express train passenger car set. The interior lighting can only be operated in conjunction with the 42790 set

Charlie's Tip: If you would like these three cars to run by themselves (without the main 42790 set), you can add a pick-up shoe to one of the cars. We stock and sell the 206370 shoe, which clips under the truck. The cars are prepped for this shoe. You do have to solder the wire from the shoe to the line of the current conducting couplers. One shoe is required for the set. We can do this upgrade for you. The second picture shows the addition of the pick-up shoe. It is NOT part of the set and has to be bought separately if you run these cars without the 42790 set.

The express train steam locomotive to go with these cars can be found at Ajckids in the Märklin H0 assortment under item number Marklin 39243.
