Luxurious travel

The Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL) - a glamorous name from the heyday of the railroad - is the oldest European company to operate sleeping cars, dining cars and luxury trains. It quickly became the epitome of luxurious travel. The EDELWEISS was capable of traveling at a maximum speed of 120 km/h, especially on the flat race tracks in the southern sections between Luxembourg and Basel. The fastest express steam locomotives of the respective railroad administrations were usually used for this purpose, such as the newly developed French Series 13 or 241 A steam locomotive of the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est (Ostbahn).

In the operating period we have recreated, around 1937, the train ran the Couplage coach combination of two Pullman coaches of the type Étoile du Nord and Côte d'Azur, supplemented by two luggage coaches at both ends of the train. The train thus exuded the contemporary, luxurious flair of the golden age of travel.

Marklin complements this incredibly exquisite set with the appropriate Steam Locomotive to pull them. A true giant. The French Eastern Railroad Series 13 heavy express train steam locomotive with a tender in the version as a locomotive for the EDELWEISS express train car set. A real highlight and statement in the Gauge 1 assortment.
