Z3 -154
This model was produced by PIKO with the code 95457 and it doesn’t exactly look alike with the OSE’s* Z3s, but with a few modifications it can approximate the Z3 of the 154 series.
The lettering on the wagon was 154, so, we left as it is . Another difficult spot is the wagon’s door. At the presented model, there is a vertical support beam in the middle, while with the real model this support beam is shifted to the right.
The improvements that have finally been made, concern the alteration of the buffers from round to orthogonal, the placement of beams along the roof (plastic thread 0.1mm), the painting of the roof in silver colour (rather than its original grey), the painting of the windows in silver colour give to us another version of this wagon (brown originally), the placement of the footsteps under the buffers (made out of steel wire 0.2mm), and the painting of the hooks at the ends of the wagon in yellow colour. At the photographs , the above mentioned modifications can be noted. The half-opened door and some small cargo inside the wagon make the model look more natural.
*OSE is GREEK STATE RAILWAYS..
