Sirkeci Station (Sirkeci Gari) is Istanbul's terminus for trains from Edirne and Europe.
This is where the famed Orient Express ended its run from Paris, at the 19th-century Orientalist station near Seraglio Point beneath the walls of Topkapi Palace, right next to Eminönü, its ferry docks, and Galata Bridge.

Finished my design for a Baggage Car for the Orient Express IDEAS set. Based off a train set from REE Models, these cars are slightly smaller than the standard passenger coaches.
In order to navigate R40 curves, the middle wheelset slides using the same functionality as the tender, and the outer wheels rotate on a swivel as well. This functionality is not necessary on R72 and up.
The buffers swivel separately to allow for the steps to be static, and use the design I planned here.
Aiuto, lasciate libero il passo!!
Questo è un passo difficile.. non ho il passo carrabile..
Pero' è il primo passo..
tutto daccapo... ai piedi
Capito mica per tutti è facile..
pero' si sta al gioco.. per via de la suerte...
