@Tinotos, I recognize the 'Series 20000' coaches on your screens, in their original FS grey livery. Interesting thing is that after WW2 those coaches found themselves in random european countries like France or Poland. I found a similiar coach in a seaside city of Hel (Northern Poland) serving as a summer holliday house:

And once made a model of this coach:

After 1945 the coaches that found themselves in PKP use were equipped with additional taillights and other polish details, they were retired around the 2nd part of the 1970s. The one I found in Hel is the only one I know of still existing.

Where did you find the green E646? Is it freeware or payware? And is it from Trainzitalia?

Hi Alex ...
The green E646 is a beatyfull work of our staff member Moreno.
Yes it is on Trainzitalia site and is not payware but is for ours GoldMembers ... but it is very easy to become a member for ever (GM for life)

Tomorrow I upload other screens of new E646 and E645 by Morenos ;)

Hi Kilanziom I know well the coaches of your screen (I found randomly on the DLS) and are very beautiful. I read your description attached to the stock and is all perfectly correct.
Carriages FS1921 or series 20000, however were not the only coaches who have arrived from Italy in Poland or from Poland to Italy :Y:
Carriages 20000th circulated from 1920 until the end of the year '70 in green livery wagon (like those of your screen) in brown / Isabella and finally in slate gray

PS: Sorry fo my english

You sure do travel a long way to find your stuff. Do you know where Hel is in Nordic mythology? Only fitting to go to the realm of the dead to find decomissioned railcars. That is true dedication ;)

The shots are great though - as always - I wish I had the patience to build anything resembling a route.
 
@Tinotos & yojimbo: exacly. Passenger coaches and their history are most interesting to me. In Poland it is mighty hard to get this knowledge since the photos and archives are still usually held in private hands - no books, no publications, not many available photos from before 1990... Anyway as you say Tinotos, there was much more former Italian stock that worked in PL. I managed to get to some wrecks and survivors of italian origin recently. This one anchored at the moment in the city of Białystok would be most interesting:

Although another one in Hel is looking preety much as an ex-FS unit too:

Also there is some knowledge about the SNCF fleet of former FS coaches, like this C10myfi 11979:
