Bing 1 Gauge Passenger Wagons-Lits

Description

Bing 1 gauge Compagnie Internationale Des Wagons-Lits. These large carriages were made beginning in the pre-WW1 era, and I believe were built into the twenties. I can’t find a reference for a “Wagon Conversion “, but I assume it has something to do with the interior looking like an excursion coach. Hand painted, but unfortunately the paint has almost completely been lost due to the ravages of time. One of the hinges for the roof is loose and the middle of the roof has a bend. Missing a few of the seats, and one of the door handles, but otherwise complete. It is a large piece, approximately 19 inches long, so the shipping cost reflects this.
