A301 - A310 ALCO DL500 'World' locomotives

[TEE1055]

This is a good thing also for other conversions. I have a idea for a further model...

Good afternoon to all you,

Looking at TEE1055 conversion and other models in this string,could you tell us which colour reference did you used for orange and blue A300 loco?

For the orange loco, i think this is not so very simple, the brightness by the models and in prototype are not same. For my conversions, i have mixed the orange color of base Humbrol #69, 60 and 99.

Photo Balkanmodels: August 1986. Accident damaged A305 awaits attention at the Engine Shed Thessaloniki. As far as I know this locomotive was pronounced unrepairable and was stabled there for years.

PS. If we are nice to Iossif , he might tell us how and why the loco got there

[GAZKGK]

She had a face-to-face colission at Lakia with A 558 somewhen in the 1980s.

A 558 went back to Romania to be repaired and since then her blue "V" stripe on one face was wider than before. After A 305 was also repaired they found out that the underframe was bended from the accident, so ..... they didn't proceed to further repairs.
