ACME JŽ Sava express, JŽ couchette

13.04.2025 /

With the opening of the fair Intermodellbau Dortmund on April 10th 2025 model train manufacturer ACME from Italy published a catalogue with news. In this catalogue ACME announced for our countries important models, that is 2 sets of business train Sava Express and a new model of JŽ couchette passenger wagon.

The train Sava Express was in former Yugoslavia almost the top priority passemger train. This train had code P100/101 and drove between Ljubljana, capital of the Republic of Slovenia, Zagreb, capital of the Republic of Croatia and Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia and nowadays of Republic of Serbia. The train was quite long consisting of 8 wagons of 1st class including the restaurant and buffet wagon. Occasionally there could be also close to 15 wagons. Wagons were painted in blue with white stripe and logo Inter City and in Ljubljana often the special salon wagon was added. This extra wagon was used to transfer representatives of government of Social republic of Slovenia from Ljubljana to Belgrade. Since mr. Stane Dolanc often travelled in that special wagon they called it the Dolanc’s wagon. ACME’s set represent models of typical wagons of 1st class and the restaurant wagon.

As mentioned at the beggining in the ACME catalogue the following models are announced:

  • AC52844 – JŽ Bcl, couchette wagon, ep. IV
  • AC55354 – Sava express set A, 2 waggons of 1st class and restaurant
  • AC55355 – Sava express set B, 2 waggons of 1st class

The release date as well the price are not known yet but we already accept preorders on the models in this catalogue as well (pre)orders of other ACME models via e-mail or using the webform on this site.
