I went back and looked at the thread Art started. I can see the appeal of this train to a well-heeled TCA member with an interested wife. (If this is coming off as sexist, I apologize in advance) The color is unusual in tinplate- dare I say pretty? And Agatha Christie is a great favorite among avid readers- I count my other half in that group. She devours it.

This was part of MTH's last run of tinplate 400E passenger sets back in 2018-19.  MTH made several limited sets that could be ordered through his dealers.  However, this special run of 8 only was offered only through the TCA and you had to enter a raffle to win the chance to buy one of the 8 sets.  Since they have come out I have never seen one put up for sale.

Being sold as a lottery I would imagine a few were sold on speculation. I think they will sell for way above MSRP in the near future.

Thank you for clarifying this. I remember seeing these and the others in the catalog. I still lust for these. As a note I was introduced to Sidetrack Hobbies because of these gems. Al has more than satisfied my need for pretty modern standard tinplate. Well almost.

Much thanks for the enthusiastic response for my quest for a MTH Orient Express. Like many if you I had the pleasure to take the Venice Simpson Orient Express from Rome. It’s pure nostalgia that I seek thus set not for accuracy or scale. This will be added to my Gauge 1 Orient Express sets from Fulgurex, Aster,Marklin  J&M trains etc.

on the hunt.
