I wish there will be a Λα model available soon

Photos from SFS Club Athens (from Facebook)

La SEK to 1962 at Tempi

La 936 at Edessa Sept. 1962

First time seen photo from some OSE employee's album. It comes from Dimitris Tsoumpos archive, recently posted at the private facebook group "Trains in Greece" and posted here with his kind permission. Unfortunately there is no information about time and place.

after some discussion with fellow enthusiasts at the FB and the amnizia forum, some evidence has emerged about the Λα 925 photo above.

place is most definitely Piraeus Workshop, the old Engine shed turntable is shown at the right, behind the Λα.
the bright clean appearance of the engine and the personnel looks, indicate an early '30s or even late '20s shot (?)
note the Εα just visible at the left.
