Murder on the Orient Express – Goofs (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3402236/goofs)
Under Anachronisms:
‘Even though attractive SNCF 241.P 65 was used, the Class 241 was built from 1948 to 1952, but the movie takes place in 1934.’

French were not flashy.

They were loved my their drivers and chauffeurs, and they kindly called them “le bœuf” (bullock)

They were built from 1930 to 1935 in northern France, by Fives-Lille crafters. They’ve been on heavy duty service and international express trains until… 1965.

200 tons, 3500hp, +110km/h

Trix made two nice models of those beauties, one is exactly the same seen in the “murder on the Orient Express” movie, and another one in the green livery of the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de l’Est.

Trix refs are 22941 and 22913, quite expensive and the first one is hard to find.
