hi erich,got it off member here,from what i have managed to fathom,no train had it on in movie but in the book,all the soldiers on board,painted the tender with von ryans express,so as there was no pictures the model is down to artistic licence by a modeller,ken
ps in the movie they used an italian train with german deflectors and the number 51 in red and white as per the model i have
extract from book
Unlike the film, the Ryan in the original novel survives and makes it to Switzerland with the other POWs. He then bursts into laughter when he discovers that the words "VON RYAN'S EXPRESS" have been painted onto the outside of the train
