Hellas-Express

Hello,

here's the composition of 2 international trains, noted at Thessaloniki on 08.12.2005:

Tr. 460:
A485
51 52 2040 070-6 Dest.: Sofia
51 52 7030 505-2 Dest.: Sofia
51 55 7080 001-8 Dest.: Budapest

Tr. 411:
H566
51 65 5980 015-1 from Ljubljana
51 79 2080 070-6 from Ljubljana
51 79 2080 068-0 from Ljubljana

Sorry that I didn't even think of taking pictures, but the listing of the carriages might be interesting too, especially for the modellers

All the best,
Stefan

Excellent topic!

Here is the photo of slovenian coach Bl 51 79 20-80 070-6, taken on Feb 2004. (photo: Miro Marolt 'Railfaneurope.net '):

I've seen this picture on Facebook and I'm really interested in those coaches at the back side of the rack.

Could you help me?

As far as I can see the carriage at the end of the train is OSE Restaurant (CIWL), then JŽ Sleeper (the blue one) and the green JŽ couchette car. Both are Goša Y!

Thanks, Andy!

This MZ couchette car is the Goša series with 'high roof' design, like OSE Goša couchettes!

Although in German, a very interesting presentation of the Hellas-Express story at Welt der Modelleisenbahn http://www.welt-der-modelleisenbahn.com ... press.html

most of the photos are known but there are some timetables and most important there are the 1963 to 1990 compositions in a pdf file at the end of the article!

Good morning to all members

Did5e balkanexpress train came with freight stock,as mixed kind train?

Or..if tanker came just in case for that Long Rack of coaches?

you're right BE, this is quite strange...
