Description:

Small set of liveries for polish rolling stock that was exported abroad.

This small package is my tribute to all the engeneers, constructors, officials and workers who spread the polish technological acheavments all over the globe. Over the years polish railroad rolling sotck manufaturing sector has successfully fullfilled many diffrent export orders from countries of 3 continens (Europe, Asia and Africa). The legacy lives on, albrait on an smaller scale – for example recantyly PESA works from the city of Bydgostia has started to manufacture diesel multiple units for railroads of ghana,.

Table of contents:
-red-beige livery for the ET22 (Morocco)
-beige-red livery for the EN57 (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia)

The skins are made for default vehicles.
The author is aware of the fact that the export versions differed from the domestic market vatiants. As the vanilla models represent domestic market, not export vatiants, the representation is not 100% accurate.

More about these trains:
1) In the years 1975-76 PAFAWAG works form the city of Wrocław (Breslau) have delivered 23 201E type (201Eg subtype) electric locomotives to the Moroccan State Railroads (ONCF). Subtype 201Eg differed from 201E’s delivered to the Polish State Railroads (PKP, thay had destignation "series ET22") in a couple of diffrent aspects. The body was stainless. Inscripions on the motorman’s stand were in french. The motorman’s stand was placed on the left side of the locomotive. The roof was lower and had diffrent shape. Single-arm pantographs were installed (domestic markert versions had foru-arm pantographs). ONCF gave thair 201Eg’s destignation "series E1000". Just ans in Poland in Morocco thay were used for both passenger trains and goodstrains. ONCF utilised then to 2012. Interestingly, in the year 2003 some of them were bought by an polish industrial railroad CTL (Chemtranslogistik) which imported tham back to poland and repaired them. Thay still operate in Poland alongside domestic-marker ET22’s. Sadly most of export specyfic equiptment was demounted and thay lost thair beutiful livery, so now thay are similer to other ET22’s in Poland.
2) In the years 1964-1975 PAFAWAG works have delivered 40 type 5B/6B multiple units (3x 3 car set, 37x 4 car set) to the State Railroads of Yugoslavia (JZ). They differed from the domestic-market units (which had destignations "series EN57" for 3 car sets or "series EN71" for 4 car sets on the Polish State Railroads). For example thay had buffors. There were more differecnes. JZ gave tham following designitions "series 311(middle motor car)/315(cab car) and utilised tham mostly as stoptrains. In Yugoslavia thay got an nickname "Gomulka" form Władysław Gomółka who was the 1st secretairy (equvalent of todays prime minister) of Poland back whan the units ware delivered to the JZ. Some units were imported back to Poland, rebuild and operated in thair homeland. Thay lost thair export-version specyfic equiptment and livery. The front-end was replaced with ugly "turbomodern" plastic (popular treatment amound rebuild EN57/EN71’s in Poland).
