Another historical railway wagon in 1:35 scale is joining the series. This is the legendary restaurant wagon that was part of the famous Orient Express, well-known from the armistices in Compiègne. The wagon is one of the most important symbols of both world wars, but it is also inextricably linked to railways, luxury and design style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the total defeat of France in the 1940 campaign, the Germans found the wagon and forced the defeated French to sign the armistice in it. This only highlights how much the roles had reversed since the first armistice of WWI. On June 22, 1940, the German-French armistice was signed, after which the wagon was transported to Berlin, as an exceptionally valuable war prize affecting German morale and a symbol of superiority over France. It was placed in front of the Berlin Cathedral as a monument to victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wagon, measuring almost 60 centimeters, is a completely new entry to the railway series from COBI. Behind its detailed sides there is a perfectly reproduced interior, which can be easily seen after easily detaching the roof. The aforementioned sides are covered with blocks with wood texture and prints, thanks to which the wagon looks just like the original. The gold prints show the logo of Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, the wagon number and an extensive slogan located above the windows. The wagon has opening doors on the sides, on its front walls in the passages between the wagons and inside between the subsequent sections. The wagon's interior is the same as in June 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wagon has a special block base consisting of five track elements and a profiled embankment with the name of the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1944, the wagon was moved to the Crawinkel area, where it was stationed in a specially built tunnel. It is suspected that it was destroyed during an Allied air raid on the city of Ohrdruf in 1944, or burned by the SS in 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001 high-quality elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured in the EU by a company with over 35 years of tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe blocks meet the safety standards of products for children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully compatible with other brands of construction blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel in 1:35 scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial block display stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePAD PRINTED, only permanent prints, no stickers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel dimensions (length x height): 58.5 cm (23.03\") x 13cm (5.12\")\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728186310999,"sku":"COBI-6289","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2119\/7911\/files\/d53cf828038822ce858f66b72a0be758.jpg?v=1758132778","url":"https:\/\/cobi.com\/products\/cobi-compiegne-wagon-22-june-1940-train-car-set-6289","provider":"COBI Official Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
