 Hello ladies and gentlemen and thank you for joining me today. I'm at the Hungarian city of Chopron This is in the top northwest corner of Hungary Not far from the Austrian border. I'm at Chopron Railway station or Chopron Vashu Dalomash Say in Hungarian Vashu Dalomash literally translates to railway station unusually for a Hungarian railway station There's no math trains here. It's all GCSEV, which is just Chopron FN Ben 30 Vashu Probably not quite said that correctly, but anyway in today's video We're going to go and look for a few steam engines because not far up here. There's a field full of steam engines So that's where we're going to today. I think we'll be traveling on that train there That's a Stadler flirt similar to what Greater Anglia have and so a transport of Wales getting in the UK I have made videos on the Greater Anglia Stadler first if you want to have a look at link on screen now As I said, we're going to be looking for steam engines. Well at the moment I can see a few electric locomotives. I can see a diesel shunter. I can see a V43 A Vectron and a Taurus and then there's this OBB, this Austrian Railways unit being a border station You get quite a lot of Austrian Railways trains coming over. Anyway, that's for steam engines Our first one is just here. This one's plinth at the railway station here So it's a prairie wheel arrangement. So it's being like the Austro-Hungarian Equivalent to Green Arrow. It's got that wheel arrangement. We go around the side We can have a look at the number of it. Unfortunately they've They're doing some building work and they've decided to store it obscuring the all the materials obscuring the view slightly But anyway, you can we can clearly see it's a prairie It's number is it's a class 324 and it's 1518. So that's our first steam locomotive of the day What we're going to do now I'm going to go over there and get on that Stadler flirt And we're going to go and look for some more steam engines big and small So here we are. We're on the Stadler flirt on our way to Furtobus That's where we will change to get on the Kishfershu to Kishfershu is Hungarian for narrow gauge railway I've got my diesel bashing shirt on. It's got an M62 on the front I don't know if we're going to see one of those today Of course, quite a railway But we have on other trips. So as we come into Furtobus There's two steam locomotives, standard gauge locomotives, plinth But it's an eight minute connection So I don't know if I'm going to get a chance to get pictures of my plan is as we come in I'll just film out the window. So we should see those two as for these Stadler flirt trains I'll just let you have a little look at what they're like. So it's nice. You've got you know seating in In force my notebook. We have the writing down train numbers This is the upper part if you look you can go down here Into a lower part so it makes them fully accessible So, you know, you don't have to go upstairs. You could sit down here in the lower part And then as you walk through into the next carriage, there's like a ramp up and down So whenever I go on these trains, I always try and Go for the upper part because you see that little bit more So it's not far. It's only about an eight minute journey to Furtobus So I'm going to keep looking because I don't want to miss these steam locomotives that are coming up So we've just got off the Stadler flirt and here we are some more steam engines We have a Krieg lock here. Looks like it's been fairly recently oiled So Krieg locks is a German one that literally means war locomotive I've seen a few of these in steam in Germany. I've seen them Working in Bosnia, Herzegovina a few years ago. They still work out coal mines And there's another local there's Hungarian railways class 424 The narrow gauge platforms are down the other end of station So I probably ought to go there because it's quite a tight change So the train we arrived on still hasn't gone yet because it's single track And it's waited for do you have a train to pull in? There's our little narrow gauge train, which yeah, we're really excited about Going on so once this train's crossed our path, we'll go across the track We're going to get on that narrow gauge train and we're going to go for an exciting little ride To find a few more steam engines So here we are on the noisy narrow gauge train bouncing all the way from the Hungarian countryside It's one of an unusual shape mine, it's like an M shape So we're now in the middle of the M if you know what I mean So at a minute, I think the logo is even going to run round or there's a return I'll find out soon But when we get to the upper end we'll have a proper look around the side So I've just arrived at the middle station So we've got to wait here for the loco to run round the train So on the map it shows there's a return loop, so that's a future plan at the moment The loco is already running round, so we'll just see the loco go last Then we'll continue to Lodzsek The end of the line, I have my diesel bus from my diesel bushing show on behind this locomotive, quite an interesting little loco So I suppose the number is 8-4-1-1-9-5-3, or is it a D-Mot 9-5-3? Yeah, so it could be identified by over them You get the Bismot rail cars This is a D-Mot rail car, I'm not sure exactly how they come up with those numbers But that's kind of how they are So this is the end station here, which is really quite nice What I can show you, there's quite a good map Or over here, interactive map So if you have a look at this This was the line we came on, although we actually came from Choperon So imagine us as a train, we came from that way Choperon, we got off here, our train went off up there And then we got on the train here And we went down here to here But it shows us a loop like that, but we didn't do that Our loco ran round and we came all the way up along here And we finished here So now let's go and have a look around to the site We're going to just derail the steam loco The steam loco, this one here, I could glimpse it in the shed at the other end Which would be of a shape, so I don't think we're going to see that But we will see some steam loco So if we go just around here, there's a whole field of them And it's like an outdoor museum of narrow gauge rolling stock So there's quite a few interesting things to see here So this railway, it's like a children's railway You've probably heard of the children's railway in Budapest Which was an old sort of communist thing That taught children how to work on railways But now it's more like a scouts You know, you get sea cadets and the air training corps I think of it as like a scouts of railways So here's all this rolling stock So let's have a little look around So we've got a nice carriage here It tells you information about them, but in Hungarian And as I know, as you may know, I do speak a little bit Hungarian But possibly not enough to translate them So that's quite interesting looking vehicle there What else have we got? We've got another carriage there We'll go which way should we go Let's have a look at this There's a tender steam loco This is interesting looking They're all narrow gauge these are Let's see the information might be able to tell us something Yeah, not too sure Anyway, another steam loco here If we have a look here, now this one to me looks like What they call a field barn locomotive You know, they were quite common sort of in France On the front during the world war There's also a similar one at the Laysson buzzer railway In England Another little steam loco These two steam loco's here look similar If you're wondering what the funnel Why it's that shape, that's a spark arrester So only sparks would be arrested We have another, oh wait, that was pretty big That tank engine there It's not a small loco Yeah, it's small but it's not small, you know what I mean Some more carriages, parks along here All line of carriages It's a turntable It's not sat in a turntable pit But it is a turntable It's got a chasse of a wagon on See the curvature of the turntable And there's quite a few steam loco's There's another one I quite like Is this one here? 490-057 Usually Hungarian narrow gauge steam loco's are Number 490 or certainly I think that this is a resistor A Romanian built steam engine I've ridden behind one of these At the narrow gauge railway near Boyer And I think they have I have ridden behind one on the children's railway In Budapest in the past And there's also This is quite a little cool little car here So we've seen a few steam engines On today's trip Which has been quite good We're in the village of Nodshank So what we're going to do now We're going to leave the steam loco's There's something across the road I want to show you So we're going to go over the road And have a look at that I've just come across the road From the railway station And we're walking beside the wall Of a country estate Unfortunately it's not open today But on the other side of this wall Is one of Hungary's Stately homes It's quite a famous one And you possibly without realising it If you've been to Hungary You've probably seen a picture of it I'll show you where you'll have seen a picture of it In a minute We went to a model village yesterday In Chopron There was a model of That stately home Here At there But if we have a look here There In front of us Is a stately home Now if you're wondering Where you've probably seen it Then here is a 500 4-inch note 5,000 4-inch note sorry Look at that on the back That is this castle So here we are This castle I'm holding a 500 4-inch note With this castle on Standing outside this castle And if you look that way There's a nice avenue Be a nice walk to walk off Up there So what I'm going to do I'm going to now head back to the railway station And take my narrow gauge train And then a standard gauge train Back to shop on Egeshe Goudre That's cheers in Hungarian That gentleman was drinking Some Choproni beer Which is a very very nice beer So as we head back to the narrow gauge railway station I've noticed There's a section of standard gauge track here Just a plinth So I reckon they might be going to plinth A standard gauge locomotive or carriage Or they could plinth something I reckon Otherwise why would you put a standard gauge Bit of track So if you are watching this video In like three or four years time And they've plinthed a locomotive there And I haven't already been back to make another video Please do comment and tell me Because I'd love to know what's going to happen So I'm now making my way back We're heading back to the narrow gauge railway And we'll have a walk through the museum again So it's a bit ironic really That we've come to see all these steam engines And yet the one locomotive that actually is in steam This railway hasn't featured in the video That is a bit of a shame But it is my intention to Visit this railway again When they're running steam So at some point in the future we'll do that So I hope you've enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching If you'd like to come visit this railway yourself It's very easy to get to As I showed from Shopron The standard gauge trains do connect With the narrow gauge trains If you even come from Budapest It actually shows that If you look at their time table on their website It shows connections from trains from Budapest So you could easily do a day trip from Budapest You'd have a three hour journey But it'd be worth doing So from this field Full of steam locomotives Thank you very much for watching Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment Goodbye, this one's out actually
