These cars were, of course, not in service when SEK became OSE. They were withdrawn due to their bad condition, probably when the first German refrigerators arrived in 1961. Some were destroyed during WW II, and only a few existed, in bad condition, at Lachanokipi in the late 1960s. In the early 1930s (~1933) 60 of the Belgian 1928-1929 "Ζπτ" vans were converted to refrigerators with numbers Ψπτ 18841-18900.

Finally, 3 were converted to ballast hoppers by "Βιομηχανία Μετάλλου και Πλαστικού Σωτηρίου Α.Ε., Βόλος" and it seems that also a small number were converted to flatbeds..... and i think there are still 1-2 of them out there (i have photos but will upload them another time).
