Yes, right christo.... i forgot the second series because of the different builder.

Barba-Panagos would say that this second series (31 73 786 5 101-115) is also built by TIMISOARA.... but no

Built by UZINA GRIVITA ROSIE BUCHAREST.

These are 49 wagons... and their old numbering was P7 31 73 729 9 101-150 so ... one wagon was destroyed or something simillar before the new numbering was given.

Lets turn the clock back a little.


Photo Balkanmodels: Spring 1985 by the repair/paint shop in Thessaloniki. Two tankers and a gondola await attention.

Photo Balkanmodels: August 1993 at EOTH Thessaloniki. A P7 Romanian 1968 tanker stabled next to a FIAt that awaits attention.

Hello All,

Is this Albert Modell product suitable for those type of Ose Tank cars?
For me looks simmilar.

https://www.trainsdepot.org/manufacture ... wagons_pdf

that's most interesting!

because of the bogies it looks more like the 1974 tank viewtopic.php?f=13&t=93

the chassis looks a bit different but the tank looks pretty close
if dimensions are right it could make an OSE tank with some work

Albert has more bogies so we can change wich looks more identical. Can You draw me on a picture the differences of chassis?
I talked with Albert I meet him every second weekend on Budapest railway modell börse. Some things they can modify to modell. The only problem is we have to find an investitor because they make modells only if they can sell 80-100 to a shop or investitor.

Maci86,

A bit of a change of topic - Do you think Albert has any interest in developing any Greek models. His work is so excellent and it seems that some of the wagons he has already produced are close to Greek wagons. For example:

- the Greek Rgss might be very close to Albert's Rgs: https://www.trainsdepot.org/manufacture ... wagons_pdf
- The Greek Zaces (P9) might be close to some of Albert's Zas models

I would imagine that as the Greek Rgss do travel into Central Europe that the interest in those would go beyond the few Greek modellers.
