BM CG spr82a.jpg

Photo Balkanmodels: Spring 1982. NES Thessaloniki general view. Clearly visible the typical battery luggage trolley that the OSE employee is driving. Its handle was used for forward and stop and also for turning right and left. I never saw it reversing. A Yellow Citroen ELTA van in the distance? And is that an Austin Morris parked near the van?

Photo Balkanmodels: Spring 1982. NES Thessaloniki general view over the rest of the station. This ambiance is for the enjoyment of the secret agent who never wears shorts ;)

Photo Balkanmodels: Spring 1984. NES Thessaloniki general view. Two years later nothing much has changed apart from the parked cars under the trees, a feature that must not be missed by us modelers. :D

BM CG spr84b.jpg

Photo Balkanmodels: Spring 1984. NES Thessaloniki station building viewed from the outside. The windows to the right are from the restaurant that, many years later, Nick, Gregory and Nondas sat with me discussing projects.

Photo Balkanmodels: Spring 1984. A closer shot of NES Thessaloniki station building with a taxi. Interesting to note that taxis always used the right side of the forecourt while the buses used the left.

BM CG PEST Apr90a.jpg

Photo Balkanmodels: April 1990. The back of the building in the area of PES Thessaloniki that was going to house museum exhibits. I am sorry for already posting this photo in the vehicles section to do with the Renault van.

The mountain of silver hooks to the right of the photo belonged to the Hellenic Army and were used inside wagons for the transportation of meat. On the left of the picture is the spur that leads into the SOM Shed which is just behind me.

Thanks Taso. I especially like Edessa, unfortunately when I was there I had only 10-12 shots remaining at the film...
