Can anyone point me towards where I can find out the train formation for the 1930's era Rheingold trains...?

What I've got so far.

BR 18.4 / SPw4u-28 / (SAu-28 / SAuK-28 / SBuK-28 / SBu-28) / SPw4u-28

From mid 30's onwards it looks like the BR 18's were replaced with BR 01's.
Still stuggling to find out how many coaches there was per train or the make up of the SA's and SB's coaches....

This is the only pic I've found so far...

For a short time only, a second baggage car was used at the back of the train. Two additional passenger cars could be added if there was sufficient demand - rarely.

Thats almost what I've assumed.

I'm supprised how short the trains formations are. I was expecting them to be closer in length to the LNER's Silver Jubilee or Cornation train sets...

I've got myself half a train set.
Just picked these four up on e-bay...

According to wikipedia they ran routes to:-

Basel SBB - Freiburg - Baden-Baden - Karlsruhe - Mannheim - Mainz - Köln - Düsseldorf - Duisburg - Zevenaar - Hoek van Holland - by boat: Harwich

I'll be running one on my Remagen layout and St.Laurent isn't that far away...
