The projected model is proceeding but unfortunately there hasn't been a single declaration of interest since, so only photos of the real thing.

Photo Balkanmodels: April 1993 and Loco A555 spotted at Lianokladi en route from Salonica to Athens. Our train was also pulled by a sister loco running 5 hours late. Later it caught up a little so we arrived 4 hours late.

Well, Christo...lots of messages are read in this string, but here it is my 'declaration of interest'...

I want at least one Craiova for me

Hi Christo,

Plse put me also down for one.

Can you give a price estimate? (just in order to see the extent of the quarrel with the Mrs...)

Thx,

Iossif

[christo]

Thanks Iossif, you are number 11. If I can reach the magic number 32 then, I said before, it should not exceed the £500 mark ready to run and painted.
