One extra hour this morning, so I escaped to the shed to fiddle about with those bogies I am finishing off for a friend . However, Helen caught me in the act .

Last time I travelled in a MAN was in about 2010 from Palaiofarsalos to Kalabaka on a local train.I remember leaving the AEG that continued to Thessaloniki and northern and boarding the MAN that was propably the 1/3 of the AEG.However,they are faster than the Railbuses and the MAN 2000 trainsets (even when the MAN 200 were rebuilt).Another DMU series to be rebuilt.A good idea that was considered some years before was putting a middle car but it never became true....

Hello friends,

After a last minute order, I am building one last MAN and I will have to order some
a)Tenshodo bogies
b) acrylic sideframes + glazing
c) seating units
If there is anyone out there who might wish to have some to complete their kit or as spares, please email me. I need NOT say this is the last chance.

PS. There are some spare decals still available.

Still the sideframes, roof vents and corridor connections to complete. Then a paint job (Tasos?) and finally it will enter revenue earning service in my layout (test track at the moment ).

Since last year, i`m developping some parts for Christos MAN, like bogie sides, roof parts and a new underframe.

Now, i come to confusion with the Engine-/Gearbox equipment. It is poorly visible from the outside, but i wan`t to design fantasy-SciFi-equipment. Last year, i have took some captures on the MAN at Thessaloniki. For that year, following Corona issues, my flights to Greece are cancelled.

Obviously, there is no traction equipment on that first scetch. My question: Knows anyone the Factory-type of that engines and gearboxes and/or a picture in expanded state? Thanks!
