I and a partner are working on an Orient Express Route project from the early 1900s and we need box cars, wagons, and other freight cars the early types with nice textures for TANE if possible. Any suggesttions very welcome. They need to be as accurate as possible so no fantasy ones. We have the OE and good locomotives to pull them and details timetables and route info from a associate in Italy and a collection of good Austrian Alpine and Norther Italian town structures, barns, houses, resort hotels, Castles and such. Some of the standard local passenger coaches for local traffic would be nice too. I know the history and have a massive collection of all of this but in other sim formats for it has been a subject of interest for me for many decades. thanks
The history of the Orient Express is somewhat complicated. At one time, there were three trains with this name, i.e.:
Orient Express Routes from 1921 to 1938
some Italian Locomotives that pulled the OE
the text summary is from our friend and associate in Italy.
we are considering various route candidates for possible backdating and or conversion of course in concert with the creators as things develop. We plan far ahead and work on various projects as time and energy allows.
thanks for any suggestions. I will dig too.

- The Orient Express, running from Paris to Bucharest via Germany/Austria/Hungary (1883-1962)
- The Arlberg Orient Express, running from Paris to Bucharest/Athens via Switzerland/Austria/Hungary (the Athens section travelled south through Yugoslavia) (1924-1962)
- The Simplon Orient Express, running from Paris to Istanbul via Switzerland/Italy/Yugoslavia/Bulgaria (1919-1977). From 1962, this became a Paris-Istanbul/Athens train.
