254 - Märklin four passenger coaches gauge H0, Mitropa dining car and two CIWL coaches

Märklin four passenger coaches gauge H0, Mitropa dining car and two CIWL coaches Four passenger coaches of the Märklin brand in gauge H0. Included are a Mitropa dining car, a further dining car originally in Mitropa version and later overpainted, as well as two coaches of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, one in cream/green and one in cream/blue. Lithographed tinplate construction. Played-with condition, partly stronger paint damage. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be entirely ruled out. The Mitropa operated the dining and sleeping cars in the German-speaking area from 1916, while the Belgian Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits provided the international luxury trains of Europe. Both shaped the image of the classic long-distance trains, which makes these coaches appealing to collectors of the early Märklin tinplate railway.
