Hellas-Express

Good news tonight, I was digging in the box of the old family photos (putting them in albums is an ongoing process that I have started decades ago )
My father and his colleagues in front of some ΣΕΚ Ζ vans full of troops! At the back of the photo is written: Plati, December 1955, just 60 years ago!!!

The first one is Zπ 27924 and one can read the revision date: ΕΠΙΘ ΕΘ 15954 (Thessaloniki Works 15/9/54)


...

A real gem BarbaP, and thank you for sharing it with us. The photo is so clear and sharp and it captures the moment and the spirit of its time perfectly.

christo.

thanks Christo, I'm pleased that you liked it. I'd like also to note what we both agreed before while having some chat at the Skype,
the door of the first van has the plywood replaced by planks, while the second van has the original door.

I think this Roco model is very close to the real wagon, what you think ?

Yes ANAROUS it is. I think this is the Kleinbahn moulds that Roco inherited. The other company that does this prototype is Tillig.

christo.

all we need is decals

We also need a painter , but....


...there are differences between the Roco (Kleinban) and Tillig models.

christo.

Could somebody tell which one is closer to the prototype?

...

The Klein, now Roco is more correct. The Tillig one is too wide.

Cheers
