CIWL Pullman Trains “Paris - Deauville” and “Côte d’Azur Rapide”

Two CIWL Pullman Trains “Paris - Deauville” and “Côte d’Azur Rapide” consist of CIWL Pullman carriages, all with unique numbers, made by LS Models and French Steam Engine locomotives: La Chepelle 4-6-2 Pacific E13 (black) and Della 2-3-1 Pacific E22 (green) made by Rivarossi.

Beside the Orient-Express and other long distance trains, there were some short distance trains, with no night travel, said “Pullman trains” on the CIWL time-tables, travelled during some hours from Paris to Deauville, or like the day train to the Côte d’Azur “Côte d’Azur Rapide”: for these short journey trains, the CIWL built some Pullman cars. These few cars, specially made for short travels, were called in CIWL French language “Wagon Salon Pullman” (WSP). These were brown and cream until 1932, and blue and cream later. All these cars are, like all the 3000 cars of the CIWL, on the same chassis and bogies than the others (length: 23,45 m). Amongst the 103 trains running for the CIWL in the 1930’s to 1950’s, there are only 4 trains using currently these Pullman cars: « Sud-Express » (though it is a long travel train), «Flèche d’or», «Etoile-Du-Nord » and «Côte d’Azur Rapide». In these WSP Pullman cars, there are no compartments but one big unique « salon » and some added two little compartments or «coupés» with 4 seats, one at each end. The only seating consists of individual and very comfortable armchairs . You understand that it is impossible to travel overnight in an armchair, and that the “Orient-Express” did not need and had not such cars.
