OSE exDB 5173 2240 301-330 Bm & 5173 5040 030-042 Bcm carriages

[BarbaPanagos]

Those two that lack the broad grey strip at the side, are like all the other exDB couchettes (and the one at Tim's photo)
if you want to model them you are going to need a DB Alpha Trains model, AT-31036, AT-31037, AT-31038

BarbaP,

Which are those AT-31036, AT-31037, AT-31038? I though AT only produced 2 references (as seen in BalkanModels' page 'Rolling Stock' as 31031 and 31032)...

Well, I've discovered that there are some DB coaches with that window distribution...I though it was just some 2nd DB ones as if AT tried to record the first DB coaches that came into Greece.

Regards

these are the DB Bcm coaches, there were also produced three different DB Bm models but are not available anymore.
LS got the license for these models now.

checkout what is still available at Kalfakis http://www.e-kalfakis.gr/advanced_searc ... &x=57&y=12

there were produced:
6 different OSE Bm coaches, all available except AT-31001
2 OSE Bcm coaches AT-31031, AT-31032 as we all know unavailable quite some years now...
3 DB Bm coaches, AT-31026, 27, 28 all unavailable
3 DB Bcm as mentioned above that you can still order from Kalfakis, note that they are wrongly mentioned as Bm, they are Bcm

below, DB Bm 232 (AT-31027)

OSE Bm 5173 22-40 309-1 as direct car Budapest Keleti - Thessaloniki, photo taken by me at Bucharest Nord, Feb. 2001
The MAV sleeper next to it also ran to Thessaloniki, the CFR 2nd class car behind the loco ran only as far as Sofia.

All the best,
Stefan

Photo Balkanmodels: April 2001 NES Thessaloniki. A close up of Carriage 51732240 323-2 of the previous photo. Note the little 'jonmood' detail of the two sleepers holding back the ballast. Incidentally, this was the prototype of Alpha Trains 310001.

Photo Balkanmodels: August 1993 walking the footbridge by the Carriage Shed Thessaloniki. An unidentified Bm carriage amongst others. I thought of posting this one for BarbaP who likes these shots but then I noticed something grey (with a yellow stripe) near the parked cars for Andreas Is it what I think it is?
