the 1st picture is great Realek :eek:kay: Have you posted in on build, I think it's the first time I see it...
I haven't, it's SSC exclusive :)

But it's not mine pic dude hehe
It looks like theres no 2 same train carriages in Macedonia :nuts:
Bas vlada sarenilo na MK prugama.
It looks like theres no 2 same train carriages in Macedonia :nuts:
Not realy:

3 main types of electric locos (with sub-types)
3 main types of diesel locos (with sub-types)
3 types of shunters
1 type of EMU
1 type of DMU

Passenger carriages are red/yellow
Sleeping carriages are blue/white


If you see carriages of different colors that means that they belong to other operators and are passing through Macedonia.

I'm not aware of country with one type of locomotives..
Those are different train compositions, the locomotives theirselves are from different class, period etc. :)

I am talking about locomotives. 6 different styles.
You are right about this, but the situation is mostly inherited from Yugoslav times. The changes are to the:
-441 class electric locos (I liked the old livery much much better, it was a kick ass livery)
-442 class electric locos (I like the new livery)
-412 class EMU (some have been painted in the "national" red/yellow combination and some are still blue... I suppose there is some more substantial difference between those trainsets and the color scheme is supposed to reflect this)
-The standard passenger cars were all repainted in the red/yellow combination too.


And just for illustration, here's that beautiful 441 old-yu livery. I absolutely love it! Even better than the original ASEA :yes:

At YU time there were only two different schemes green-yellow for diesel and red-blue for electric locomotives.
You're wrong. Just one example - the Electroputere electric locos have been in that bluish combination even then, at least those in Macedonia.
Tito had a blue one, too :D
Do you have thiner rail roads in Macedonia? We're calling em' "теснолинейки" . The correct term should be "Narrow gauge railway" - they're quite popular in Germany and Switzerland . I think they're used in mountain and other difficult areas around here. I find em really cool.

Here's the Electroputere 461 I mentioned. Looks ancient, but don't let the looks deceive you, it's one hell of a locomotive. And it packs a mighty punch - 5100 KW

We're in the process of thoroughly modernizing them. They are being thyristorized and equipped with digital equipment :cheers:




And here's a nice photo of the beautiful GM classic, the 661 class... And its sound is even more beautiful than its looks - almost orgasmic :D




I'm in love with our older locos. I hope we get some brand new asap, but I hope these older ones will be maintained well and that we will see them on our railroads for a long time to come :)

CHEERS!

:cheers:

Well that is new for me coz every single that i have seen and i have seen them a lot, had these 2 combinations.
Tito had a blue one, too :D

But those narrow gauge are touristic attractions. I know that we in Bosnia have them, Slovenia and Serbia as well and all touristic, using steam locomotives etc.
