These are two beautiful blue SNCB-Railtour sleeping cars with reference # 12007. Märklin wheels that fit perfectly are # 700190. I hope this info will be of use for those of you interested in LS Models passenger cars. Pierre.

Their prices on some RailTop cars seems to be about par for what I have seen on ebay germany. Also have no first hand experience with LS or Railtop, but from the websites and photos I have seen of some of the models, they look pretty decent.

Very instructive. Definitively LS Models passenger cars are very interesting for the Benelux and French model railroader. I have bought these cars because Märklin has not produced SNCB passenger cars for a while ( except the M2's ) and I would like to expand my Belgian trains. Pierre.

Also have no first hand experience with LS or Railtop, but from the websites and photos I have seen of some of the models, they look pretty decent. I can confirm you that they are highly detailed. Prices seem very correct in regards with quality according to me. You can still order those cars to Jocadis in Belgium ( http://www.jocadis.be ); they have an excellent shipping service. Pierre.

Joined: 30/09/2005(UTC) Posts: 904 Location: bologna, BO		Hi. I have some LS models cars (SNCF' USI passenger cars) and replaced the wheels with the same indicated by Pierre. I also replaced the couplers with standard marklin close couplers (#701630) but in sloping bends they get embedded with the buffers. That is because the coupler seat has too much free play, to me; NEM statements indicate +/- 0,5 mm but they can move of more than 1mm. So I replaced couplers with Roco ones. I see you changed couplers with marklin ones. Have you noticed this problem?

Hello, I have used Märklin couplers # 72060 that are not short coupling and they work fine ... but I only have tested the cars on a flat carpet test C-track to date. When moving the coupler in order to simulate an upward slope in a sharp curve, coupler is rubbing on buffer but do not jam. Have you noticed an improvement with Roco couplers ? Pierre.

I've ordered several things from them and they will gladly order AC variants not shown on their website but available. That's how I got my Mehano G2000 - VERY nice by the way. I can heartily recommend them.

Further details about my LS Models cars : http://www.pierregillard...rklin/mrnm/lsmodels.html Yes, with roco couplers I have no troubles even in sharper curves... it's the only type of close couplers that works without problems with these cars. Obviously I keep Marklin couplers in the first car. I had the same problem with Roco cars in full lenght (303 mm). Bye
