Eight single railcars delivered to SPAP in 1937 together with the Linke Hofmann ones.They ran on Lavrio line and Peloponnese network until about 1990.Output 210HP.Remaining;one in Lavrio,one in Patras and another one in Tripolis or Kalamata depot, all not working.They were bought together with 4 trailers (ΑΡ 0000.01-ΑΡ 0000.04).During their last years of service, they ran on Kavasila-Killini line or Katakolo-Pyrgos-Ancient Olympia line with De Dietrich trailers or hauled by Esslinen, De Dietrich or Linke Hofmann trains in the rest of the network.

Is it the same railcar?

[apapap]

It's the same railcar but I don't know its number

Here is a photo from a book (ΤΡΕΝΑ-ΜΗΧΑΝΕΣ ΟΝΕΙΡΩΝ)(ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΟΤΥΠΙΑ).The railcar was to be rebuilt but it became worse.No lights,seats,original bogies,window frames.......

Back then it was new.One of the first SPAP diesel trains.......

And some more information;
These trains had only second class like the Linke Hofmann ones.(I have opened another topic about these legendary DMUs)

This railcar had propably been converted to trailer,as I can see in one of the pictures above.The numbering starts like Βσπτ but the rest is rusty and I cannot recognise it.Moreover,the front door does not exist(although I don't know if all the units had front doors) and it seems as if it is not a railcar but a trailer.

Before becoming like this the railcar was painted red-white (NOTE:one bogie-an original one-is next to it).The other bogie is also somewhere in Lavrio area.
The rebuilding-repairing was so bad that the front door was covered.SO IT IS NOT A TRAILER.Moreover,,it seems that the railcar had serviced (even as a trailer) until Uerdingens were withdrawn.That's why the numbering goes like that.
