2nd choice: German coaches with 9 compartment windows from past millenium Lima plastic mold production ....

Actually the Lima coach is a model of an Italian coach, though with a few simplifications / modifications, notably changing the roof ventilators to the German pattern. The trucks are also simplified representations of the trucks for that car too; regrettably Lima used them under all their 0 coaches, even the British ones. See attached page from a mid sixties Fiat railway vehicle catalogue.
Best regards, SZ

Nice picture, do you have any book title or ISBN number? Of course, in my O gauge collection I have also Swiss and French Lima coaches. Lima used two different types of trucks (something like vintage Orient Express style and modern style, I don't remember exactly) for the O gauge passenger cars...
