I was meaning before that; somewhere in Scandanavia, I expect? Eh, not that
important, I guess.

    > It is TU55s as far as I can see.

Ah, I was confused by an aspect of the pictures on that page which I hadn't
noticed before! The fourth picture in that set:

which is where I saw the TU56's (along with at least one TU55), shows a
different machine! I just assumed all four were of the KA, but the last shows
them in front of a KI.

Although one has to look carefully to notice that, though, as the size,
colours, etc are very similar; it thus looks _very_ similar to the KA in the
first ones.


I'd still love to find out if there are any other KA's left - does anyone
know of any?
