OSE ''KIOLEIDIKA'' Greece 2004

[JohnP]

Well this is interesting The marklin.gr shop is offering these coaches for sale:

http://www.marklin.gr/index.php?route=p ... ct_id=8568 (there appear to be 5 variations)

The construction is not typical and perhaps not for everyone, but I think that this is a creative way to make these unique coaches available. I'm very happy to see this. I'm definitely going to give a couple a try. Mine wont be running behind a Vectron however - the Hellas Sprinter will do just fine.

More detail on the construction method here. Google translate does a pretty accurate job if you don't read Greek.

For those of you who don't know, the paper Kioleidika I mentioned one post above are designed by Nondas Moyzes who has a very inspiring Facebook group (Paper Model Factory) with all sorts of interesting ideas.

Here is a video of mine in action (on my floor). The first two coaches are my Roco "stand-ins" and the last three are Mr. Moyzes' designs that I purchased from Marklin.gr.

Bmpz - 2nd class with central corridor
Bmz - 2nd class with compartments ...

I wonder which one was a standard part of Hellas to Belgrade between 2009-2015?

I think it was a Bmz

here is the 335 composition according to Jason

Thanks, Barba Panagos (and Jason) for the information.
Which RAL color is the best to use for the models of these carriages?

[BarbaPanagos]

sorry Mon, I have missed quite some posts lately!

I have no idea about Ral of those colors. You better ask some of the professionals that have already converted some look alike models
erail and Model Trains, maybe

Hello Mon,

The Facebook group Paper Model Factory (run by Greek modeller Nondas Moyzes) has files for paper models of each version of the "Kioleidika'

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2973424 ... iles/files

The colours seem very accurate to me. I wonder if you looked at a PDF on the file list (for example NK-SGP_ADmz_PaperModel_Mk2.pdf) if it would be possible to reverse engineer the RAL for each colour.

Also I think the professional that BarbaPanagos was referring to was ModellingCentre who have examples of their work on their website: https://www.modellingcentre.gr/en/portf ... ika-wagons

All the best,
John

Many thanks for the replies Barba Panagos and JohnP, those links are worth a closer look.
