Details
The Calais-Méditerranée Express was introduced in the winter timetable of 1886/1887 and was a luxury train operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. From 1886 to 1939 it operated from Calais and Paris to the French-Italian Riviera. Later, from 1922 after the introduction of the famous steel-blue sleeping car, the train was also given the nickname "Le Train Bleu".
Like all CIWL luxury trains at the time, the Calais-Méditerranée-Express consisted exclusively of sleeping, dining and luggage cars. In addition to the usual teak wood carriages of the CIWL, the visually striking two-tone cream-brown carriages were also used in this train. In the model, the complete 6-part train is realized with two baggage cars, three sleeping cars and a dining car. The destination signs on the sleeping cars are authentically different. The sleeping and dining cars have interior lighting and numerous details and add-on parts both inside and out.
