About CIWL restaurant car by Ties van Asseldonk
My model of a Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits restaurant car. Restaurant cars like these were used in many international trains all over Europe.
The model is built in 1:45 scale, and uses no custom parts other than the bearings around the axles and some decals. All parts exist in the colours used, and I intend to build the model in real bricks at some point in the future.
