Jason, Christo, thank you both for the great data and photos!

it seems like the Κβ, together with Λα class, were the most modern locos and the backbone of ΣΕΚ during the late 20s and 30s.

They were still in an acceptable state in those days...

They were named Πάγκαλος class locomotives, because at that time there was a Greek dictator called Πάγκαλος......
