Playmobil 4124 and other cars

Railcatering! Coffee, tea! Pullman service!

That's a good alternative use of the air stewardess klicky.

That certainly seems like a great train to travel with. (I trust that your avatar helped the lady with the baby get out of the train?  )

Of course he does, and although I am not a train guard myself, I would always help a woman with a pram to board the train. For much of our trains in The Netherlands, that is 2 steps up.

I too like the use of the cart lady in your train, great idea

This was my inspiration, a Wagon Lits "stewardess" in a Dutch train.



I still have fond memories about those Wagon Lits personnel, with kind service and good and hot coffee.

Ik heb aan dit rijtuig inmiddels nog wat veranderd:

1) De plastic wield van Playmobil vervangen door LILIPUT L999304 metalen wielen. Metalen wielen slijten minder snel, worden minder snel vuil en geven minder vuil af aan de metalen rails. Als je een Playmobil baan hebt met plastic rails adviseer ik je om dit niet te doen omdat de metalen wielen de plastic rails sneller laten slijten. De zware metalen wielen hadden voor mij nog een voordeel omdat het zwaartepunt van het rijtuig lager komt te liggen en daardoor de loopeigenschappen verbeteren.



2) Door middel van stickertjes van LGB sluitseinen aangebracht aan de achterkant van het rijtuig.



3) Het rijtuig is nu compleet bezet met passagiers. Een gezellige boel!

SORRY, I must reply in English  :

I have made some improvements to Playmobil 4124 Panorama Express wagon:

1) The plastic Playmobil wheels are replaced by LILIPUT L999304 metal wheels. The metal wheels are more solid, getting less dirty than plastic wheels and have a larger lifespan. Because of the weight of the metal wheels the center point of gravity is lower, giving the car better riding qualities. If you have plastic Playmobil rails I advice you not to do this. The plastic rails will worn out sooner because of the metal wheels.

2) On one end of the Panorama Express wagon I've put end signals. These are stickers from LGB, and available as spare part. Contact your local LGB dealer.

3) All seats are now occupied by Playmobil people. That's the way to earn money as a railway company!

Very nice colourful train, you've got some great looking passengers like t he baby in the car seat and the man with the modern hair and the eyebrows, your train guard is very nice as well

Looks great! The stewartess works great there, too.
