The modern train has very little in common with the historic operation. The best sites I've found for the historic Orient Express are the CIWL archive and French historian and "Train consultant" Clive Lamming. https://www.wagons-lits-diffusion.com/...

I believe the Est/SNCF 241As sometimes hauled the Orient Express on the Paris-Strasbourg leg but it would more often have been a smaller loco such as a Pacific. I don't think any of my other locos would have hauled the Orient Express, but they might have been used on other CIWL trains. One...

Ivatt 2MT with SR destinations based on my system. Normal lampcodes can also be selected and the extra southern region lampirons can be toggled on and off.

I should be able to produce a disc mesh that allows my southern destination library to be applied if needed.
