OSE ''KIOLEIDIKA'' Greece 2004

[christo]

Photo Balkanmodels: August 2005 at NES Thessaloniki. Bogie detail from the same 2nd class Bmpz as in the previous photo. Compromises will have to be made in order to model a working bogie and apron. I would have opted for a shorter apron but it would have been interesting to hear other people's points of view. Providing of course that people read the captions and don't just copy the photos onto their documents

"N. Κιολεΐδης ΑΕΒΕ" built only the second class coaches (pullman type Bmpz).... so that one is certainly one of them.

I'm a bit slow...do I take Christo it based on your message from June (above) that you are considering making these? Or was it a more theoretical observation

[christo]

JohnP, I was only making useful comments for the would be producer. I am afraid , it seems that my coach commissioning days are relegated to the dustbin of history.

Christo, I think you have more than done your part to make Greek railway modeling a viable hobby. Hopefully more producers step up to carry things on.

That said, it would be great if the Kioleidika were in someone's plans. I wonder what kind of a market there would be for something so modern?

I think you have more than done your part

Beleive me, there is still life in the old dog , but NOT in these carriages.

Woof.
