The prototype: K.W.St.E. express train cars

The Württemberg express train coaches, as built by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen from 1909, are regarded as milestones in European wagon construction. They were based on the American system of "bogie intercommunication wagons", which was only adopted by a few European railroads at the time. Due to the strict standardization and unification of the components, these wagons set new standards in design and functionality.

These carriages were used on prominent routes such as Stuttgart - Zurich, Friedrichshafen - Cologne and Stuttgart - Nancy. They were also known throughout Germany and the whole of Europe as scheduled coaches. Their luxurious equipment and high technical standard made them a symbol of K.W.St.E.'s innovative strength.

The railroad company: K.W.St.E.

The Königlich Württembergische Staats-Eisenbahnen were among the most modern railroads in Europe in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were pioneers in the introduction of technical innovations and set standards in the design and functionality of railroad vehicles. This wagon set represents the high point of their development in passenger transportation.

Era I: The early days of rail transportation

Era I, which extends to around 1920, marks the early days of the railroad. This era is characterized by individual state railroads and a variety of carriage designs. The express train coaches of the K.W.St.E. are an outstanding example of the progressiveness and style of this period. Models from Era I are ideal for capturing the historical atmosphere of this era on your model railroad layout.

Color scheme and design

The wagon set impresses with its authentic color scheme and precise lettering, which are based on the historical models. The intricate details, such as the finely designed running gear and the realistic bogies, underline the quality of this set. Each model is equipped with an interior, which can be further enhanced by retrofitting interior lighting.
