Baden express train car from Dingler assembled
by Friedhelm Weidelich
Dingler has produced various versions of the Baden express train cars from the turn of the century as partial kits for the target group of live steamers.

How to assemble the Baden baggage car from Dingler
by Friedhelm Weidelich
Car kits for gauge 1 are rare and overstrain many model railroaders. Inspired by the requests of live steam railroaders from Switzerland, Dingler dared the experiment and published two kits of Baden cars. The baggage car offers hardly any major hurdles even for beginners - if they know a few tricks and tools. It is not a quick kit for three afterwork hours. But with a little patience and my detailed assembly instructions with 60 pictures you will successfully reach your goal.
