 Hello thank you for joining me, I'm in the Hungarian city of Chopron and today we're going to go and look at a cafe that has a model village in its garden. Right now I'm currently in an apex between two railway lines, there's one railway line there and there's this one here about half a mile away from the main railway station which is that way, boarded up old signal box and I believe that building there is the old Chopron south station, this is the non-electrified line which takes you out of Chopron and into Austria to Vienna Neustadt. Now where we're going, it says Kavezu just over there, that basically means cafe where you drink coffee, I probably will have a coffee but that's not the point of the video, the point is to have a look at this model village which I'm really quite excited about, the model village is just behind this fence here, I've been to quite a few model villages before, namely Beckham's quite I've made numerous videos there, so today it's quite exciting to go to somewhere a bit different in another country, there are model villages probably in most countries in Europe, this is the first time I've been to one in Hungary so it's going to be exciting to to have a look, so yeah there we are, that's the cafe just there and they've also got a mini golf place as well which I'm not too interested in but you know if you came as a family something else to do quite fun, entrance is here, there you go, there's the entrance to the model village you have to go in and see what we can find, so we come in to the cafe, so if you were to drive here then you've got places to park, down there is the crazy golf and then the model village is just through here so walk past that's where you go and have a coffee which I probably will do afterwards get to here now this entrance is currently free I think that's because some of the models aren't working which is a bit of a shame but then I haven't got paid to go in so that's quite cool, so here we are we're in the model village in Hungary, now having a look at it it's got buildings from the local area mainly in Austria and in Hungary so I think the middle of it is mainly Hungary and the outside of it is partly Austria although it doesn't quite follow that rule it's a bit of you know so Chopron to give you an idea it's in the top northwest corner of Hungary in 1921 that she had a referendum whether to move into Austria because they are kind of surrounded by Austria that they remained in Hungary so it's known as the loyal city so if we start here this is a model of some of the buildings in Chopron city center my particular favorite is this tower here that's known as the fire tower I actually went up it yesterday and you get fantastic views over the city if you've ever had the Choproni beer and you see the building on front of it you've been to Hungary you've had a beer you probably will have had Choproni, that tower and Choproni literally means Chopron then the Irony means from so from Chopron the beer so that's the city center that's the theater there's this church here now I have been in this church about 10 years ago Chopron was the first city I visited Hungary 10 years ago been in that church and I think now on this side of the path is Austria so let's have a look we've got a very rich family around here who I had many castles of Stately Huns with the Esther Harsie family this is one of their castles if you look there's a little bit of little information boards and it tells you where they are so Chopron's there it's up here up here in Austria so it's that one is in Austria yeah it's a here we have the depot but I don't think unfortunately trains aren't actually a shame no trains there just full leaves so I think that's why it's free because where most people go to model villages people like to see the trains going but we can have a look at the track and we'll have a look at the buildings the buildings are all very interesting so there we have a church again that's in Austria this is quite interesting this is a city called Roset I think if I'm pronouncing that correctly it's in Austria it's supposed to be the smallest city in Austria I think I understand so here in the railway there's a loop around there now let's go up over the lake most of all model villages tend to have a lake it's sort of a feature there yeah build a model village of course this one's no exception also from this bridge we get a good view of the railway line now train any train came along now be good but like say something like a good train or steam train or a local train came along I saw a local train on this line yesterday have a look at the screen now you can see that further back and it gives us a look there I think that building I'm not 100% sure it's there and this is purely me making educated guests I think that is the old shopper on South Station of Delhi by the way so this is like I said it's the line to Vienna you may also be able to see just over there there's a water tower on that it says Choproni that is the brewery where they make the famous Choproni beer and it's quite nice if you're not so into beer they do like a lemon flavoured one that's non-alcoholic which is basically lemonade it's lemonade made in the brewery I suppose you can call it that's really nice so you don't have to be someone who likes beer to enjoy Choproni and as I say when in Rome if I'm here in Chopron I'll be having a glass of Choproni later and probably the alcoholic version so here we are here's the lake now this building this is the main Esterhazi Palace this was the first stately home I visited in Hungary 10 years ago I don't think we so much went inside but I was on a college trip we arrived here we went across the forecourt and we went through a door we went out the back and we went around the gardens so yeah this is one of Hungary's probably probably the most famous stately home in Hungary Esterhazi Palace have a look here so here we are here we have the gauge one width but it's G scale track railway we'll follow it let's imagine a little train's running along I really wanted to see a train but we didn't let's let's think what sort of train it would be maybe let's just say let's just keep it simple just like a little rail car going along here and I'll be excitedly walking along following the train I mean you can just imagine whichever train you want but right now we're following a train along the double track main line and we get to Delipova you've probably heard of Budapest Delipova that means south station now although it doesn't look quite the same I'm guessing that this building is that building obviously it's been painted a bit short and thin by I think was it say so it says Chopron Southern train station should be a railway station but anyway or they then they'll say the city's first railway station known as the Chopron Southern train station again railway station but let's not get pedantic built in 1897 by the Chopron to Vienna Neustadt railway that would make sense and then later on there was the G7 railway the Dior Chopron and F and F railway or do more of G7 that's coming in another video so yeah all the trains I've seen on this line were Austrian, OBB, Austrian feudal railways trains but the other railway which is just over there they seem to be all G7 trains there's even any MAV trains the MAV trains tend I don't even know if they go to Chopron at all but any MAV trains would head towards Budapest so there's a bit of a work in progress here but there's a turn table there and they've got a monastery so we're kind of in Austria now all right we know this building this church is in Hungary so yeah we're very much still in Hungary we'll come into Austria when we get up there this is a beautiful church this is a church in Hungary a baroque church it's quite nicely with the Esther-Harsie Palace not actually that close in real life this sort of baroque area and then here we have like a village museum and again you can go and visit this this is not too far from here this is a traditional Hungarian village and then here we are at the back now we're at the back of the Esther-Harsie Palace look at that don't think that horse there's a horse on the roof I don't think that's supposed to be there it was not for me to go into fearing and move it or else would we go up so the railway line continues around here like I said we could imagine a little train running along there oh now we get to another stately home now this stately home is in Hungary it's at Nottsenk and Nottsenk has an hour-gauge railway I haven't been on that hour-gauge railway yet but probably by the time we watched this video I may well have done it my plan is to go there tomorrow and this railway terminal it's literally across the road from the CessChain castle I can pronounce that right we're now over here we're now very much in Austria so there's a water tower it says history is unknown there's a ruined castle there the little train would go into a tunnel at this point it would disappear under here and then the train would come out there I think if it was working we would press this button and make trains go but I press it nothing happens so that's another one the estuary of Austria it's now ruined the railway comes out here and there's a circle from around that castle and then we head back this is another one of the Estherhardi castles which surprise surprise is also one of the Estherhardi castles so yeah they were very much a problem and then when we get to here we're back to where we started this is Chopron city centre we go back round there's a couple of things I just wanted to point out before we finish here is a monument to the gentleman who created the village he passed away in 2000 so that's nice to know that he's remembered here this lake that's to I think I may not be saying that right but that is a big lake near here and it's a national park it's half in Hungary and half in Austria so we're going to go back past here past the Estherhardi Palace I'm hoping a train will come along on the main line but if it doesn't I've made a video called trains in Hungary if you go and look at the link on the screen now there's a shot of a train going past which I feel dirty this church is interesting it's famous for its front door look at this it's got a very grand arch at the front door so that pretty much concludes I just suddenly realised something you know what I said I think this is that railway station that's it there see that signal box there that's it there so if the building obviously was longer from that gable end would have run to about here and yeah you can see that in real life it's been shortened so yeah I'm 99% sure that that station is this station and that is the old tele-pod but yeah that signal box there and there they certainly seem to go together alright let's walk back along the double track railway imagine whatever train you want to see on here even imagine the bullet Pacific or something like that because it's a model railway and there is that saying on a model railway run what I like so up on the bridge we get a really nice view over the whole of this lovely little model village only sighted spot was trains weren't running but we still enjoyed our visit I'm going to go over there now and get a coffee I think because yeah it's been it's that time it's about 11 o'clock in the morning so I hope you enjoyed this model village video from Hungary thank you very much for watching please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment and from this little model village you're from good fire
