Andy, it looks like I have the black and white version.

Photo Trevor Rowe: Alexandroupolis Shed 1965 loco Κβ833. From the Balkanmodels bought photos archive. Interesting tender in the background which looks like a two axle Bourbonnais tender.

Hi Christo, thank you for the information with the photographer!!

[christo]

He used to work for British Airways in the 60s so disposable income for cameras, films etc and a lot of travel opportunities

Nice photo ! !


But you can see that it's not exactly the same one (Andy's and christo's), you can compare it with the windows visible on the right of the loco..., so ... we can not exclude the case that there were 2 photographers there, that time .

[christo]

Or one photographer with two tripods, or one photographer with one tripod and two cameras, or...We will never know unless someone out there knows something.

From what I know TR travelled alone.

Hi Guys,

Thx for sharing the pix and the info.

Any comment on the tender behind the Kb???

thanks guys, great photos.
assuming that color films and prints would cost quite more than B&W back in 1965, probably Mr Rowe was carrying a second camera to get some selective color photos too
