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

Hmm... I can see tell you two errors...

1. Your photo is cut ..?

2. "Ma 1013" is actually Ma 1008.

the last one is ''mirrored'', your photo editing program should have a command, it's usually something like ''image ---> mirror''

I wonder what is ''hidden'' under those white triangles


...

"Ma 1013" is actually Ma 1008

GAZKGK you might be right. I thought there was only Ma1013 in Salonica at that time. Maybe Iossif knows better.
