Simple and effective:

New driving cab numbers as rubdown signs: (Picture before/after)

I have 4 sets left.

I expect Lima made the mistake originally and Electrotren copied it. Oh well , I can live with mine the wrong way around.

I guess the Hellas Sprinters will be soon a common sight down here, lower than Domokos. Till then we are so pleased shooting them during their seldom appearances.

Thank you, Christo, for moving the topic, but now...I'm completely lost.

The loco shape shown in advert is not the HEllasSprinter, so...

BalkanE,
The model depicted is of a German class 193 locomotive. OSE had no such locomotives but they had Hellas sprinters instead. Therefore the Marklin model is a compromise, unless someone knows differently.

This is an exclusive project from HMC.gr
The first project was the V60 with two numbers..
Marklin will produce only 500 copies of Vectron

[christo]

Thanks for the info theo. For those who want to be reminded about the V60, please read here: http://hellas-express.eu/viewtopic.php? ... 0&start=40

I think they promote it as a "what if" scenario. I have read it somewhere but I cannot find it.

To my opinion it is Märklin...as long as this brand is on the box you can sell everything to its followers!!!!!

Cheers
Andreas

Since modelling compromise is a very personal choice, everyone is free to apply. In 1985 long before Greek electrics appeared, I painted a German diesel white/sky blue and numbered it E954 to represent an OSE unit but I had great fun playing with it in my then (unfinished) Bristol layout.
