I'm a big fan of the look of elegance and luxury of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits et des Grands Express Européens carriages, and their association with the various "Orient Express" services. I think we are all familiar with the blue and cream of the traditional LX sleeper cars, especially since Kato has produced two separate sets. This set of carriages including sleepers, restaurant and baggage cars, were produced by Minitrix over 30 years ago. While some bogie and other detail is quite coarse, these are fine models that feature internal lighting and look fantastic. The reddish brown and cream colour go very well together in this Epoch I consist. Special thanks to TheNicofabi for helping me purchase these.
