Orient Express: Build the King of Trains as a complete set
It's often frustrating when you want to recreate a historical scene but have to laboriously find the individual components. Especially with legendary trains, the right wagon for the locomotive is often missing. With this kit we solve this problem for you. After an absence of over 25 years, we are bringing back a legend that leaves nothing to be desired. Here you not only get the tractor, but also a complete composition including tender, sleeping and dining car. This allows you to bring the full aesthetic of the luxurious railway era directly to your crafting table without having to compromise on the composition.
Why this kit is a must for professionals
- Finally back: This kit has not been available in the range for over 25 years - a real rarity returns.
- Complete train set: The set includes the locomotive, the tender, a sleeping car and a dining car.
- Imposing length: At a scale of 1:87 (H0), the finished model reaches an impressive total length of 803 mm.
- Sophisticated technology: With level 5 and 250 parts, you will challenge your craftsmanship and be rewarded with maximum attention to detail.
- Literature classics: It is exactly the train composition that became world famous through Agatha Christie's crime novels and their film adaptations.
- Authentic design: The included decals ensure the final, true-to-original look of the “Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits”.
The Orient Express represents the splendor and style of bygone days like no other means of transport. When building this model, you will delve deep into the technology of the steam era. The fine engravings on the wagons and the complex mechanics of the locomotive require a steady hand and experience in model building. Here you are creating a showcase model that impresses with its sheer length and the combination of technology and luxurious interior design.
Since this kit has been off the market for so long, it now offers you an exclusive chance to fill a gap in your collection. It's a project for long evenings in which you will resurrect the "Procession of Kings" step by step. The combination of locomotive and wagons makes the model a complete work of art that perfectly captures the atmosphere of a journey from Paris to Istanbul.
Background information
The Orient Express was more than just a rail service; he was a myth on rails. First used in 1883, it connected the Occident with the Orient and offered a luxury that was previously unthinkable on trains. Kings, spies, diplomats and artists traveled in its teak and velvet cabins. However, the train gained worldwide fame not only because of its comfort, but above all because of Agatha Christie's novel "Murder on the Orient Express". The version presented here captures exactly this zeitgeist, in which traveling was still a real adventure full of elegance.

For beginners, Revell models with skill level 1 or 2 are recommended. Level 1 includes simple plug-in kits without glue, while level 2 requires basic gluing work. These models have fewer components (usually 20-50 parts) and simple color schemes. Experienced model makers should only start at level 3, as this already requires detailed painting and precise gluing work.
The packaging colors show a basic painting for quick results. However, the construction instructions contain detailed color recommendations for authentic, true-to-scale replicas. Professional model makers use the instructions' extended color palette for more realistic results. This enables both beginners to create simple projects and experts to create detailed replicas.
Revell releases new models and new editions of classic kits every month. Around 60-80 new products are released every year, including airplanes, ships, cars and RC models. The list of new products is updated at the beginning of each month. Collectors and enthusiasts should check the Revell webshop regularly, as limited editions often sell out quickly.
Revell invests significantly in product development, precise injection molds and detailed construction instructions. Each model goes through extensive design processes, tool making and quality control according to the EN 71.5 standard. The higher costs result from licensed original artwork, multilingual instructions and the use of high-quality plastics that enable precise details.
You can obtain spare parts for Revell models from official customer service or authorized dealers. Many parts can be reordered individually, although an exact kit number is required. Alternatively, specialized model building communities offer exchanges. For older, no longer produced models, 3D printing services or aftermarket manufacturers can often help.
The basic equipment includes plastic glue, side cutters, files, basic paints (black, white, gray) and brushes of various sizes. Primer, clear coat and detail brushes are recommended for advanced projects. A cutting mat set and good lighting significantly improve the quality of work. Budget beginners can start well with around 50-80 euros.
Revell RC models are differentiated according to age groups. Ready-to-run models are suitable for ages 8 and up, while kit RC models require experience in model building. Adults benefit from expandable systems and tuning options. The skill level marking helps with selection - RC beginners should start with levels 1-2, even as adults.
The Revell range includes over 400 active models, which is challenging for small retailers in terms of inventory and finances. Specialist retailers tend to focus on popular categories or regional preferences. The official Revell web shop offers the full range, while local dealers often allow special orders. Remaining stocks of older models can often be found in specialized model making shops.
We accept product suggestions via the contact form on the website. Successful proposals take into account market potential, licensability and technical feasibility. Keep in mind that developing new models takes 12-24 months. Detailed suggestions with reference material have a higher chance of success, but due to the high volume, not all ideas can be implemented.
All Revell products comply with the European toy standard and are regularly tested for harmful substances. Safety instructions in the construction instructions are mandatory and particularly concern adhesives and paints. Models below skill level 3 are designed for children aged 10 and over, higher levels require supervision or are only recommended for children aged 14 and over. The CE marking confirms conformity.
