About Orient Express “Edelweiss” by Lego_guy
These three wagons represent parts of the Orient Express "Edelweiss," consisting of a second-class saloon car, a second-class dining car, and a baggage car. The passenger cars are each 64 studs long and 8 studs wide; the baggage car has a length of 58 studs.
The saloon car has dark red seats with tables and LED-lit lampshades. The cable channel is executed under the seats. In the dining car, there is a kitchen with a sink.
The **Edelweiss** was a luxury train service that began operation in 1928. It ran between Amsterdam and Zurich, passing through cities such as Brussels, Luxembourg, and Basel. Operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL), the train was part of the Orient Express network and provided high-end amenities for passengers traveling across Europe.
