Just a few photos from my 26th December 2003 visit at the Budapest Keleti railway station (Keleti Palyaudvar) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_K ... ay_station



GySEV 1047 504-4


models in HO by Roco 72446 & 72447

nice archtectural station building like a cathedrale, I was there for a short visit during the communist era in the mid 1980ies...

Hi Ellas, you're right it was most impressive! Unfortunately I didn't have all the time I'd like to. Followed by a naggy girlfriend (who became shortly my wife) I had to shoot everything in a hurry, so I missed a lot of interesting rolling stock.
Do you have any photos from the 80's?



MAV Class V43 Electric Locomotive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%81V_Class_V43 with some CFR coaches at the background and a blue one that looks like an Ucranian WLAB



and a second quite rusty one...


as far as I know the only HO models available are from Fuggerth in various color schemes and numbers

V43 2243 with some regional train









MAV V43 1280 and GySEV 1047 502-8

If someone asks me, I would like to build in H0 scale (or 0 scale with real smoke) a Hungarian monster diesel loco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02OA9YOKrng
...than collect boring MAV electric locos

Nice video ellas2007!
Electrics boring ? I find that there is something very mysterious about electrics.

I've never met the monster but here is some diesel

MAV M44 424







as far as I know there is no model of this loco arround.
with a little search at the net I found out that a model has been created by Andras Domonkos, but I didn't manage to find out if and of how many pieces was ever released.

Hello,

the modell-locomotive M 44 looks like the Diesel-Locomotive BR V36, former German-State-Railway(DB),doesnt it?

and pulls out



while the V63 155 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%81V_Class_V63) has coupled at the consist and gets ready for the departure



thats all folks, there are a couple more photos worth shown from that trip with PKP coaches that I'm going to post later to the appropriate topic

Hi 2145, welcome to our company, I don't know if there is any relation between them. The V36 seems to be a quite older design with different wheel-set that looks like the one of the V60 (which is still serving down here as the A.100 class). As I am no expert lets wait and I guess someone else will give us an answer soon
