Nostalgie-Istanbul-Orient-Express in Dresden Hbf.
Pullman car ex CIWL No. 4152 (51 85 09-30 003-5).
The attendant welcomes the guests at the inviting entrance
door. The speed and the old number are also marked on the
head end of the car. From this perspective you can see that
half of the windows are of a slightly different size.

Pullman car ex CIWL No. 4158 (51 85 09-30 000-1), type
Côte d'Azur (7 windows). Here again you can see the Pullman
window, the door with "entrance light" and builder's plate
and the original bogie. If you compare it with the 4080, you
can see that that one has different windows and new bogies.

This picture, named for the Russian cook visible in the door of
the right car, shows the CIWL Pullman coaches No. 4152D and No.
4080 DE. You can see the diaphragms, the typical doors and the
oval toilet windows. Tobel-Affeltrangen, 3rd February 1995.

In the Nostalgie-Istanbul-Orient-Express, the diaphragms are
lined with blue velvet and a blue carpet. This makes the passage
between two cars very pleasant. I didn't find out whether this
was already done in the early time of these cars or is an idea
of the Reisebüro Mittelthurgau. 3rd February 1995.

The wooden doors with oval windows, opening to the inside, are a
typical design element of many Pullman- and sleeping-cars of the
CIWL. The door is closed with a handle and an additional bolt.

The toilets of CIWL coches are small, but no less carefully
designed than the rest of the coach. There has even been an
expensive replica edition of the water taps. You can also see
how the ventilation works: a small semi-circle in the center of
the window can be turned to the according position. Photo taken
in Pullman car WSP Cote d'Azur No. 4152 D, 3rd February 1995.

Another typical design element of CIWL Pullman cars are the oval
`Pullman windows' in the toilet and in the corridor on the other
side. Photo taken in Pullman car WSP Cote d'Azur No. 4152 D, 3rd
February 1995. Above the window is a drawing of the coach with
seat numbers, below you see a table for the conductor.
