Orient Express: Build the king of the trains as a complete set
It is often frustrating when you want to recreate a historical scene, but you have to laboriously find the individual components together. Especially with legendary trains often a matching wagon to the locomotive is missing. This kit will solve this problem for you. After more than 25 years of absence, we return a legend that leaves nothing to be desired. You will receive not only the tractor but also a complete composition including tender, sleeping and dining car. Thus you bring the complete aesthetics of the luxurious railway era directly to your hobby table, without having to compromise on the composition.

The Orient Express is like no other means of transport for the splendor and style of the past days. While building this model, you immerse yourself in the technology of the steam era. The fine engraving of the wagons and the complex mechanics of the locomotive demand a quiet hand and experience in model construction. You can create a showcase model here that captivates by its sheer length and the combination of technology and luxurious interior design.

Since this kit had disappeared from the market for so long, it now offers you an exclusive chance to close a gap in your collection. It is a long-term project where you will gradually resurrect the "King's Train". The combination of locomotive and wagons makes the model an enclosed complete work of art that perfectly captures the atmosphere of a trip from Paris to Istanbul.

The Orient Express was more than just a rail connection; it was a myth on tracks. Used for the first time in 1883, he connected the Occident with the Orient, offering a luxury that until then was unthinkable in trains. Kings, spies, diplomats and artists traveled to his teak and velvet-equipped cabins. But the train gained worldwide fame not only through its comfort, but above all through Agatha Christie's novel "Murder in the Orient Express." The version shown here captures exactly this zeitgeist, in which traveling was still a real adventure full of elegance.
