BM SFS ancient mlw model.jpg

This is NOT my photo. However, it shows a display cabinet at SFS Athens which I never visited, though I was once member no 58. In the middle shelf a sample model of MLW A450 is visible in its original and most ancient state. I wonder what happened to that model, since as far as I remember, it was never returned.
