MAN-4 IC DMUs 6501-6510 1990

[Georgegala]

10 units built in Hellenic Shipyards for OSE and the Peloponnese metre gauge network for intercity use.All preserved with one destroyed without the middle unit.They had both first and second class + bar.Top speed;120km/h but in Peloponnese 90km/h because of the sharp turns.They are in Rentis depot.

Actually,there was a plan to make AEG meter gauge railcars but it didn't continue,so these trains were bought.Like the meter gauge Adtranz and Bombardier locos that couldn't go southern than Pyrgos.....

Just found those two photos from meter gauge MAN,they are taken by me at early 00's.

This 1506 (so the other end maybe 6506???) MAN-4 IC DMU at Kalamata Station. This is on the first day that the IC08/09 "Iraklis" is running between Athens and Kalamata via Tripolis. I cannot exactly remember the date.....June of 1999??? 2000???? Maybe somebody can help.

I'm really confused with the numbering!!!

One end numbering was 6501-6510,mid car was 5501-5510 and the other end was 1501-1510
is it so?

I took a look into my literature. According to the book "Schmalspubahnen in Griechenland" from Dr. Hans-Bernhard Schönborn the numberings were:

6501-10/5501-10/1501-10

If I remember correctly though after some major overhauls the got sometimes mixed up and you could find different numbers on them. Another feature was that the 65XX and 55XX had the drive motors (each 2xMAN V12 turbocharged with 513 HP) and the 15XX had the generator (Rabaman).
