OSE Works & Auxiliary Vehicles

[Olympus]

Hi Erwin,

I can not understand the questions 1/2, mean you the yellow car?

The yellow car were previously a passenger car and from end of the 90s
a service car, i think a tool-car.

best regards from Vienna Andy

Hi Jason,
Great! A new member with lots of excellent photos, just what we need. I would contradict you on one thing, though, this yellow service wagon didn't move in 2004, it must have been much later as I photographed it in Athens yard in September 2005, which was the last time I got to enjoy real Greek trains!
Regards, Tim.

Another interesting potential modelling subject - I saw this at Thessaloniki old station in May 2000. It's a standard German Reichsbahn tank wagon from the 1930s or maybe earlier. According to Jason,it's one of only two like it, numbered Pτ 18353-18354 and used at one time by the 'Σιδηρόδρομοι Συμμαχικής Κατοχής' - 'Railway of Allied Occupation' ?? Who can tell us more about it? It would be an easy modelling project since Sachsenmodelle make this exact wagon in several paint schemes so all we need is a tin of yellow paint and some lettering - Panagiotis/Andreas?

Now the tank is separated from the chasis (the chasis is possibly scrapped).

OK, before we all get sick to death of tank wagons, here's one last oddity seen at Rentis depot, 2005. Is it really an ex-CFR wagon as the axlebox cover would have us believe, or something else altogether? Something to do with firefighting?

[GAZKGK]

Yes , it was a firefighting vehicle....

Unfortunately ''NO NUMBER .... NO INFO'' .... As soon as the number is not known .... then it is much more difficult to find info...... If christo knows anything, i'd be glad to read from him

Now at Ipato.

EDIT : I just noticed that we have no topics about meter gauge wagons .....

[TimCC6558]

Perhaps we need a new forum for the metre gauge, it will be very confusing to mix them up with standard gauge!

[christo]

Please please, no metric prototypes yet.

christo.

OK, next week, then!
