Rheingold H0 Models – the luxury train on the model layout
The Rheingold is one of Europe's most famous luxury trains. Introduced by Mitropa in 1928, it linked Hook of Holland with Basel and later Geneva — using specialised saloon and dining cars in a distinctive violet and cream livery. The Deutsche Bundesbahn relaunched the train in 1962 with completely new stock in the iconic blue-and-cream livery. In 1965 the Rheingold became part of the TEE (Trans-Europ-Express) network. In H0 scale the Rheingold is a classic at Märklin/Trix, Roco, Liliput, Fleischmann, A.C.M.E. and L.S.Models.
