In 1969 Dutchman Hans Willeboordse started a small manufacturing company in Switzerland called WILAG to produce replicas of the pre-war tinplate Gauge 1 57 cm Märklin coaches. After making a series of these he also made a series of Gauge 1 Rheingold coaches based on the prewar Märklin 0 gauge types and then he made a series of a bit more detailed tinplate PLM coaches. The PLM (Compagnie des Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée) ran trains between Paris and the south of France and its coaches were colorful: green for third class; yellow/black for second class and red/black for first class; the PLM baggage cars were green:
Here you can see this train with the matching ASTER PLM live steam pacific:
