Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,779 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi David, Thanks for the new lot of wagon pictures, very nice. I saw the Pujol one advertised at French dealers last year, but it seemed to have a high price on it at the time, so I did not bother. By the way, the second picture in this topic - you may already know, but the SBB Auguste Egli wagon is from a Marklin set of 3 Swiss wagons, #48809. I happen to keep a photo record of many era III sets offered by Marklin. regards Kimball

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,779 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi David, Somewhere in the back of my head, I can remember seeing a double wine tanker (I think it was made by Marklin) with the Orient Express brand on it. It would have been used by that company to replenish their comissary depots, where they prepared the victualling for the dining cars Do you know of that one? regards Kimball

Joined: 20/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 571 Location: Kirkcaldy, Fife		Hi Kimball. The production of wooden barrel wagons, monofoudres and bifoudres as the French called them, ceased around the time of the First World War, when metal tankers, cheaper to maintain, started to be made. The wine carried in these wagons would be the rough red, drunk every day in homes and cafes and which eventually came to form the notorious wine lakes of the 1980's. However, I do have a memory of reading somewhere that in the emergency conditions immediately after the Second world War the C.I.W.L. company had one built for their own use. Presumably the wine carried in this wagon would have been of a higher quality. However I very much doubt it would have been labelled "Orient Express". Bob M.

Kimball and Bob, the Marklin 4546 wagon may be the one Kimball was referring to. I keep a record of all my wagons and made the following entry against this wagon: "(Primex compagnie wine barrel car) CIWL (Orient Express) Wine Barrel Car (+ 2 cars) Compagnie Intern Des Wagons Lits 562024".

Joined: 20/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 571 Location: Kirkcaldy, Fife		I had a look at the link Marcus gave to a French Site and found it quite fascinating with its long list of mostly nearly forgotten manufacturers and shops. It was interesting to see the products of various French companies whose products rarely made it to this side of the channel. While most of the wagons do not have modern detail about them, they still have a certain charm. With regard to wine wagons, I found the VB metal monofoudres of interest with their barrel shaped tanks, never having seen any, model or prototype before. Bob M.

The REE wagons are lovely but where can they be obtained from , the same with the Matey wagons , how can we get these in OZ ?" Thanks in advance, Tom in Oz. Tom, I have a contact in Spain who has found and sold me most of my Electrotren and Matey wagons. He is a large collector and goes to train fares, always on the lookout for something I might be interested in. He has made a small fortune from me. I also follow many of the European eBay sites (especially Germany and France). You can set up saved searches on eBay to receive automatic notification via email if a particular wagon comes up for sale. Remember to specify "Worldwide" so that you get notification regardless of which country it is being offered. Try to avoid the USA, their postal charges are becoming too expensive compared to Europe. Request Deutsch Post Brief if shipping from Germany. I don't require insurance and tracking. And pay by PayPal, not bank transfer as the interbank fees are exorbitant. The http://en.todocoleccion.net/index.cfm website is also a good place to look for Spanish wagons. Search for "Electrotren" under "Toys and Games". there were 414 hits when I searched a few minutes ago. For REE wagons, I have bought most of my collection from "La Boutique Du Train" at http://www.boutiquedutrain.fr/prestashop/ However, REE are not cheap at roughly $50 per wagon. Good hunting. Regards, David

They have been followed by LSM who are also doing single and double wooden barrel wagons. Given the herd instinct of manufacturers when they see something that appears to be popular, we may well see other ranges following. Bob M.

I have three additional Weinsberg wagons and have posted their photos below. Not sure if I have got their numbers right though. Please keep me in mind if you want to sell any of your rare wine wagons. Regards, David Hi David, Of your three additional wagons, only the middle one is designed by Hans Bender, so that is the only one of those that I have! Strictly speaking, it is not a wine wagon, but it was issued in 1990 to commemorate 850 years of the legend of the "Faithful wives" of Weinsberg. It has an illustration of the town, and of the eponymous hill with the castle on top, which was the scene of the siege that forms part of the legend. The other two wagons are from Heilbronn, which is the neighbouring town to Weinsberg (in between Weinsberg and Neckarsulm, where high-end Audis are built, and, previously, Porsche 944s and 968s). Using the notation used by Joachim Koll in his "Spezial" catalogue of Märklin collector items, the reference numbers of the first two wagons are, in order, 4415.94011 (500 made in 1994), and 4415.90708 (850 made in 1990). Koll's catalogue doesn't seem to have the third wagon at all (at least I can't find it!). It is definitely an official Märklin product as it has the "m" logo on it, which indicates it is a special limited edition model. I would guess that it is contemporary with the first of the three, so made around 1994. Nigel

Nigel Thankyou Nigel, you are a great source of information and makes me realise how little I know about the wagons I collect. One query though, you previously thought the wagon I have posted below is a 4482.047 and not a 4482.027. I checked the box and it does state 4482.027 (1999) and the seller on eBay described it as a limited edition wagon. I have also posted photos of a few more Marklin box wine wagons for followers of this topic. My records indicate that the 3 wine wagons are from a 6 box car set 4400D "2000 Years Bonn". Marklin special edition 2000th anniversary of the city of Bonn. Only 500 sets produced and only distributed in North America. David winetrains attached the following image(s):

You must have the wrong box. 4482.027 was issued in 1998, and was a white container wagon for ALNO, lettered "Aktiv für die Umwelt" (nothing to do with wine!). Yes, I have the 4400D set of wagons related to Bonn, issued in 1990. These sets can be found in Europe too. There were eight sets in the series, 4400A to 4400H, issued between 1990 and 1992. I have all of them, as it happens! They were, in order, German Breweries (6 wagons), Swabian Breweries (6 wagons), Swiss Breweries (6 wagons), 2000 years Bonn (6 wagons), European Automobile brands (6 wagons), International Airlines (6 wagons), 1991 Anniversaries (3 wagons), and Wild West Circus (3 wagons). I hope this helps! Nigel

But what would happen if we found that you liked one drop in particular & all of the wagons had sold out. Just thinking out of the square. Tom In Oz..

Tom, you are assuming we have been building our layouts while sober. I couldn't get my layouts to join up in my early attempts due to sampling my wines. And since when has an Aussie ever worried about a short supply of good grog? Just thinking while sitting in my wine cellar. David

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,779 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi Tom, Bob, Yum, Nigel, David and others, Our European members might have an opinion on this, but if we were to imagine that a fantasy wine wagon were to be commissioned for an Australian winemaker, what would it be? There are a couple of thoughts on this. David seems to have a penchant for Australian wines, and I guess he has a few favourites. A unique wagon would top off his collection, would it not? A couple of questions need be answered first. Are there Australian wines/winemakers well known in Europe? Is there an Australian winemaker that is a subsidiary of a European winery. I know of at least one, but can't remember which. What type of wagon? Modern, bi-foudre, 3 barrel, container car? There were I believe wagons used in Victoria (Australia) by the wine company Penfolds, and they were not unlike some of the LS model vans shown here, but I don't know if Penfolds is known in Europe. regards Kimball

Joined: 20/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 571 Location: Kirkcaldy, Fife		A couple of years back the Australian firm of Auscision did a series of vans with advertising on there sides among which was one for Orlando wines. There were also two for Haig whisky, which as I stay only a few miles from the former Haig headquarters at Markinch and the still extant complex at Cameron Bridge have a certain appeal to me. The latter is a large grain distillery, the products of which, apart from being in a large number of blends, include Gordons and Tanquery Gin and Smirnoff vodka. I referred to the vans as having advertising on their sides rather than as private owners as I suspect the originals were in general service and Victorian Railways were selling adverising space to produce extra revenue. Perhaps someone in Australia could enlighten us on this. Bob M.

It features a Marklin operating system, and portrays trains from Eras I to III, but seems heavily slanted to era I. Rolling stock and engines seem to be a mix of various brands, and he has comprehensively provided lists and photos. Here is a link to his list of Wuerttemburg wine wagons. http://www.osterthun.com/0Laend...weinfasswagen.wuertt.htm This is the link for the other wine and freight wagons from all pre-1920 German railway companies. (Güterwagen der Länderbahnen 1835 - 1918) http://www.osterthun.com/0Laenderbahnen/Gueterwagen/Index~Gw.htm regards Kimball

On another matter, buying on eBay late at night and after a few glasses of red wine is not to be recommended. I collect only HO scale wine wagons and saw a Marklin wagon advertised that I really liked. It was produced in 1996, came in a wooden box with a full-size bottle of champagne, and commemorating the new Marklin museum. Something should have twigged in my brain, and you guessed it, Gauge 1. It is a really impressive wagon and sits pride of place in my lounge room above the fire place. I have posted its picture below. ps. The seller drank the champagne and sent me the empty bottle.

The first was the common 48754 insider car in 1999 (green colored lettering); the second was the less common (red colored lettering) that came in a wooden box stamped with Marklin - Semmeringbahn 1854-2004), a wagon from a special edition for the 150 years party from the Semmeringbahn railway in Austria. Can anyone please tell me the Marklin model number of the special edition? Photos posted below. David winetrains attached the following image(s):

In pre-war times, privately owned wagons were used in Australia. The one I know of was Tancred Meats, I am sure there were others. regards Kimball

I have a dozen or so bottles of French plonk on hand when throwing a shrimp on the BBQ. Life is getting tougher down under. David Hi David, I managed to get one of the Marklin 94361 (last picture on Page 1 of your topic), which to be honest, I eyed off last year. I am glad I got it. I have not owned one of these wine wagons before, and am quite surprised at how delicate is the manufacture. Although in keeping with most Marklin stuff, it is quite playable. They really are a work of art. I guess most of these Marklin wagons would have similar detail and method of production. I really like the wood barrels - realistic. To me it is a bit like a model steam engine, the body should if at all possible, be made of metal. I shall get a few more, just to keep it company. And thanks for the continuing story of your wine wagons. And if Penfolds Grange is known in Europe, maybe that's the one. Some market research may find out how many European buyers also buy model trains. I drank a bottle of Grange once, in a restaurant in Hobart. The maitre'de had to race off down town at 9pm to find a hotel that had one. But to my philistine taste buds, a bottle of D'Arenburg or Langhorne Creek might do just as well. regards Kimball

The Remstall Kellerie wagon is a 4680 from 1991, Koll's number 4680.91002 (no Märklin number). The KaDeWe wagon is Märklin number 94280 from 2006 (Koll's number 94280.2006101), and it came packed in a metal tin. I bought one of these myself at KaDeWe in Berlin when I was there in 2007!

Joined: 20/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 571 Location: Kirkcaldy, Fife		Hi David, I suspect the problem with a lot of models is that they are designed to fit a standard chassis and so invariably end up too long. Of course the Jouef model is missing a lot of detail like the strapping and the British style low level hand brake.. Though I have not yet seen one close up, I would expect the new LSM models are better. The Marklin wagons with the wooden barrels are also pretty good. The worst is probably the one made by the old Lima company. Bob M.

The wine trolley in the photo below was made in the 1920s, had a payload of 15 tonnes and a crew compartment for the precious cargo. David winetrains attached the following image(s):

Joined: 20/01/2006(UTC) Posts: 571 Location: Kirkcaldy, Fife		Hi David, I was perhaps being charitable when I described the Jouef as merely missing detail. In many ways it is totally wrong. for example the barrels on a bifoudre are resting on transverse wooden chocks. On the Jouef wagon they are hed in the same way as a modern welded wagon. I mentioned a wine wagon, produced by the old Lima company as as being the worst.Unfortunately it appears to be still alive and well as I came across a couple of examples on a French shop web-site under the Jouef label. Hornby is definitely needing to get rid of some old molds! Bob M.

Joined: 18/03/2007(UTC) Posts: 6,779 Location: Brisbane, Australia		Hi David and Bob, I did own a Lima flat wagon with two interesting containers. I tried to make them look more presentable by spraying with matt finish, but it just did not cut the mustard. I think it is the very shoddy quality of the lettering, that gives the game away. I just sold it off, could not stand it on my layout. Notice that each of the Lima flat cars has exactly the same numbering. However, they do cater for a viable market obviously. I guess it speaks volumes for the quality you do get from Marklin and Trix particularly. Having received one of the Electrotren metal/wood bi-foudres, I think they are pretty good too. regards Kimball
