Hi Roland,
Thanks for the query.
I have a bound set of "Railway Wonders of the World" published in parts around 1935. This article is entitled The Orient Express. I will post a photo soon.
The photo is of the E17 on a passenger train, and the caption reads "From Stuttgart to Salzburg the Orient Express is hauled by a German State Railways electric locomotive of the type shown above". The accompanying text says a 12 wheeled electric is used from Stuttgart eastward, and I always interpreted this as an E93.
I had not looked closely before, but the train in the photo is probably not the Orient Express. First car is a clerestory postal car (I think Marklin and Fl do this one), then what appears to be some local type cars (possibly thunder boxes).
regards

Picture relating to my previous post.
The book also contains an article on "International Sleeping Cars" which features the CIWL cars. It shows both wood sided and steel sided examples.

Nope!
Mine are in fact 30+ years old Liliput coaches.
Were a real disaster
when I got my hand on them and tried to run them on my layout...then I learned to remove all the little "bugs".
But *optically* one must say, in the early 1980's they looked smashing!

The incredible part is that you run *exactly* the same consist of 5 blue DB "skirted coaches + a red DSB restaurant car of the same vintage that I run it with!!
Well, ok....great minds think alike!
Cheers
Jacques,
you can thank Kimball for me running those carriages, as I bought them off him only a few months ago.
And not being too modest, I do thoroughly agree with you, great minds do think alike

Love your "super elevated" curves Dusan, great shot of the train rounding them
Glen,
you got that right, that's exactly what they are

E 17 has twelve wheels (eight wheels powered), so have E 18, E 19, E 16. E 93 and E 94 have twelve powered wheels, but were designed for freight trains and are a bit slower.
The words "of the type shown above" could mean "E 17", they could also mean "a green loco with twelve wheels" or even "a big green electric locomotive".
E 18 went into service in 1935 and E 19 or E 94 did not exist yet.

Tom

Hi Tom,
Yes, you could be right.
However, my reading of English subtletys, is that E17 was being used on the Orient Express, and there is no reason to think that it was not.
Marklin can release an eraII version of the E17, and offer a train set with the blue ex Trix OE coaches, plus add some steel ones (new tooling).
regards

That's what you have to think when you look at the page.
According to (German) Wikipedia, E 16, E 17, E 04, and E 18 have been used with the Orient Express:
http://de.wikipedia.org/...nt-Express#1919_bis_1940
So there are several locomotives Märklin could use for an Orient Express train set.

Tom
