Pullman cars in the 2010 version ext_2189349 September 24 2013, 19:59:51 UTC

I think you have heard this before by now, but still I wanted to point out that the 2010 version didn't use Pullman cars, in fact they weren't real Wagons-Lits cars at all, they are belgian K1A cars painted in pullman colors, I don't know why they were exactly painted in those colors, I've read they did it so people in Britian could more easily make European based train scenes but whether or not this is accurate, I don't know. Either way the 2010 version just took an easy route by using those cars instead of searching accurate CIWL cars and travelling to other European countries for shooting (which seems logical since it is a made for tv movie, so probably without a big enough budget or time to do a large search/set-up)

Thanks for the clarification.
