Hello, :)

i think, the roco-modell looks very,very good! It is very intresting for me, that roco produces modells of the greek state railway! Never the less, roco is wellknown in Europe and has a
very good reputation in modell-railroading-circles in Gauge HO(1:87)

Have a nice weekend!

Hello 2143, This is a model of a Romanian prototype and not a Greek one. However, Roco produced some Greek models and I hope to upload them on the appropriate topics.

Theo, this is the Greek version of the same sleeper car but with the wider door windows. Roco also make this version but not in Greek colours. Balkanmodels have some decals however, if you want to repaint a model.

Hi everybody,
tonight I'm glad to present to our non Greek speaking members some photos of our fellow train enthusiast Frankie Elliott. Frankie is well known among the Greek train funs, he constantly offers his knowledge and shares with us his impressive photo collection through the Greek speaking forum of Amnizia http://www.amnizia.org/forum/index.php I'm really glad he considers me as a friend.
