The maker is your host in this forum.

christo.

Can you give me an information how long this Locomotive was in Greece?

They are not V200 bu V200.1 (BR221). 20 were bought used in 1989 and ran until the end of the 90s....I think the last trip was between 1996 and 98. They were all bought then by the Prignizer Eisenbahngesellschaft and are being refurbished. Out of the 20 about 7 or 8 are in regular traffic in Germany again on the rails.

Cheers

Hi there to everyone from Spain; nice idea to make a forum about balkan and greek trains. Congratulations to our admin

Great collection Theo, it's seems quite interesting for me.

I have some questions for you.

In the 9th photo, we can see a green baggage coach close to a BDms Red-White Passengers & bagage wagon (made exclusively for Balkanmodels some years ago). It has new OSE logo.

Is that coach an aproximation for the 1973 Gosa's mail coach made by yourself?

What about that WLAB-T2 coach in blue in the last photo?

I can also see that your Balkanmodel's Alsthom is complete with logo decals? where can I find them?

Thanks

Hello balkanexpress,yes is a mail car,i have ordered to Mr erail,is a model of fleishman,the second waggon that you mention is the T2 from sncf and the model is from jouef number4006..
Also the alsthom is made by balkanmodels,paint ane sound from erail,as you can see,railway modelling in greece is working

Hi Theo,

Nice to know about those models. Your info makes me very happy and gives me clue to other models. 'Greek modelling' looks great and needs our support!

Is that ex-SNCF T2 also from Mr erail?

Regards

BalkanExpress

BalkanExpress, the OSE WLAB T2 sleeping car is based on the Jouef HJ4006 model, it was also made by Thema and like everything he has made is unknown if one can lay a hand on it!
Though, a new decals set is going to be made for this one as well after the release of the WLABmh decals set. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10
