NEW Fleischmann 6260136 N 3er Set Prestige Continental Express Ep.VI

Fleischmann 6260136 N 3-Piece Set Prestige Continental-Express Ep. VI – The Luxury and Elegance of the Belle Époque on Rails

Would you like to bring the glamour of the legendary Orient Express to your N-gauge model railroad layout and build an extraordinary luxury train? The Fleischmann 6260136 three-car set of the Prestige Continental-Express takes you on a journey into the fascinating world of historic parlor and dining cars. The set consists of the two salon-dining cars “Le Salon Bleu” and “Le Rubis Noir,” as well as the exclusive piano bar car “Le Diamant Bar.” With their elaborate decals, detailed interior furnishings, and elegant Belle Époque-style design, these cars are a real eye-catcher for model railroaders and collectors of Era VI.

Prototype: Prestige Continental Express – A Journey into the Golden Age of Railroads

The Prestige Continental-Express was born out of a passion for the elegance and exceptional travel comfort of historic luxury trains. Originally used as dining cars, the cars underwent extensive remodeling beginning in 1999 and were redesigned in the style of the legendary salon cars of the Orient Express. The focus was on capturing the atmosphere of the Belle Époque—an era known for luxurious rail travel, artful interiors, and exceptional comfort. The Prestige Continental-Express combines this time-honored travel culture with modern railway operations. The three cars are registered with Swiss Federal Railways and together form a unique salon train set that evokes the golden age of European luxury travel.

Three Exceptional Salon Cars, Each with Its Own Distinctive Character

The Fleischmann 6260136 set reproduces the three distinctive cars of the Prestige Continental-Express on a 1:160 scale. The “Le Salon Bleu” salon-dining car of the ARmz class embodies the elegant atmosphere of high-quality rail travel. The second salon-dining car, “Le Rubis Noir”—also of the ARmz class—complements the set with another stylish dining car. A special feature is the piano-bar car “Le Diamant Bar” of the WRm class, which lends the train set its extraordinary character. Together, these three cars form a luxurious salon train whose design is reminiscent of the famous European luxury trains of past decades. With a total length over the buffers of 505 mm, this makes for an impressive set for your N-gauge model railroad layout.

Visual Highlights & Elaborate Decals

A special highlight of the Fleischmann Prestige Continental Express is the elaborate printing on the three parlor cars. The individual design of the cars underscores the train’s elegant character and evokes the atmosphere of historic luxury travel. In particular, the different car names give each car its own identity. The characteristic passenger car designs come together to form a harmonious set with high recognition value. All three models feature interior furnishings that complement the prototype-inspired overall appearance. This makes the car set suitable for both regular model railroad operation and for display in a collection of exceptional passenger cars.

Model Design & Retrofitable Interior Lighting

The Fleischmann 6260136 car set is designed for N gauge at a scale of 1:160. All three parlor cars feature interior fittings and can be equipped with matching interior lighting as needed. Fleischmann interior lighting sets with part numbers 944501 and 946901 are intended for this purpose. An illuminated luxury train set truly comes into its own, especially during twilight runs or in nighttime station scenes. The interior lighting is not factory-installed and can be retrofitted separately. To connect with compatible N-gauge vehicles, the cars feature NEM 355 coupling sockets with close-coupling kinematics. This allows them to be coupled with suitable couplers to form a harmonious train set.

Prestige Continental-Express – A Special Train for Your Model Railroad Layout

The Fleischmann Prestige Continental-Express is ideal for N-gauge model railroad layouts of Era VI based on Swiss or international prototypes. The three-car set looks particularly impressive when pulled by a matching electric locomotive on an electrified main line. Depicting a special saloon train journey, a stop at a large station, or an exclusive trip through the Swiss countryside also offers interesting possibilities. Contemporary Swiss electric locomotives are suitable options for pulling the train, such as matching models from the SBB Re 4/4 II or Re 6/6 series. The extraordinary design of the parlor cars provides a charming contrast to ordinary passenger and freight trains.

An exclusive train experience for collectors and enthusiasts of historic luxury trains

The Fleischmann 6260136 Prestige Continental Express Car Set combines the fascination of historic luxury travel with a modern N-gauge model interpretation. The three individually designed parlor cars, the elaborate decals, and the detailed interior furnishings make this set an attractive addition for discerning model railroaders. This set holds particular appeal for collectors of exceptional passenger cars, enthusiasts of the Orient Express style, and model railroaders specializing in Swiss rail transport.
