OSE ARAD 5173 2080 430-435 Bm & 5173 3080 150-153 ABm carriages

'' BR '' means B' class + Restaurant .... which of course is a mistake.

The original class was Bpm (they hadn't compartments, just like the ABpm ones).

So i guess that some careless OSE guy confused the letters p, ρ and R and finally we have this '' BRm ''.


But the meter gauge cars have more terrible mistakes...

Then you have spotted an unknown coach!

The only explanation is that someone was entering at Livadia selling souvlaki and other snacks

Photo Balkanmodels: April 2001 at the Carriage Shed Thessaloniki. The same theme of 2nd class ARAD carriage 51732080 430-8. By walking along the footbridge, the foreground of the previous photo, is now the background of this one. Also visible is the new Shed distinguished by the clerestory windows, running all along its roof.

Photo Balkanmodels: April 2001 by the Railway Museum Thessaloniki. 1st/2nd class ARAD 1980 composite carriage 51733080 153-4. Alas, I never saw any of them in revenue earning service. Maybe someone else has, and is prepared to share. And maybe I am hoping against hope.
