This product model is an HO scale replica of a CIWL supplied ub type passenger car. It is offered by ACME under part number 51022.
The Type UB passenger car, supplied by CIWL, is an iconic rail vehicle that embodies the glamour and luxury of rail travel. Manufactured specifically for the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits (CIWL), this coach offers a comfortable, top-of-the-range travel experience. The type UB is a sleeping car model used by the CIWL from the middle of the 20th century. It was designed to provide passengers with comfortable accommodation during long-distance journeys. Its design is meticulous and elegant, reflecting the prestige and refinement associated with the CIWL. The CIWL livery is a distinctive feature of these passenger coaches. It features a distinctive colour combination, with a dark blue base underlined by gold or yellow stripes. This luxurious, emblematic livery adds a touch of sophistication and prestige to the car, highlighting its special status. The interior of the CIWL-delivered UB is just as sumptuous as its exterior. The compartments have been carefully arranged to provide optimum passenger comfort. The cabins are equipped with comfortable beds, allowing passengers to rest and sleep during their journey. Sophisticated details, such as soft fabric curtains, bedside lamps and practical storage spaces, help to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
