Wagons-Lits Pullman interior.

Since the interior view is treated the same way a cab view is treated, you can pan the camera around the interior and also just look out the window at the scenery passing by.

The link to London can be created by using cars and locomotives from the Download Station. I used andi06’s Pullman K-class First, kuid: 122285:559:2, download the entire pack and that will make up the consist. Andi06’s cars do not have interior views, but they are very well done. For the locomotive I chose the 4-6-2 Battle of Britain Class BR Green by jetstreamsky, kuid2:4468:4549:1 and the matching tender kuid2:4468:4550:1.


British Section of the Orient Express.

In preparation for this article I did a lot of research on the Orient Express and found excellent reference sources. If you are interested in learning more about this beautiful train here is a list of web sites for you to visit:

The truth behind the legend: The Orient Express… here

Orient Express, Wikipedia here

Mike’s Railway History, the “Orient Express” here

If I’m really lucky, perhaps someday I’ll meet you on it!
