Thank you for another excellent production of your many and wonderful productions! I thoroughly enjoyed the train ride through the Hungarian countryside. In particular I loved the luscious greenery stretching for miles and miles as far the eye can see. I just love this video. The video filmed in Hungary reminded me what my mother (my mother was Hungarian) used to tell me “One day you should visit Hungary and who knows you may bring a wife with you.” It did not happen that way, but later on I took a guided group tour on the Danube River from Budapest to Bucharest, Romania. In Bucharest I married my private tour guide. I want to thank you for ALL your excellent productions. Each one of them is filled with breathtaking sceneries. From all your travels, I am sure you have enough material to write a travel. It would be a wonderful idea. Again, thank you and God bless you.
Thank you, I enjoyed reading your comment, I have known several tour guides to meet and marry, I guess they already share a love for travel, listening to some of their stories can be amusing, it's not uncommon for them to go a month or more without seeing one another because the tours they are leading have different free periods. I love to travel by train whenever possible because you see all the things you miss if you do the trip by air, looking from a train window is like having your own personal television, you see wonderful landscapes pass by, lush farmland, pretty towns and villages, you get fleeting glaces of the lives other people live as you enter the busy suburban outskirts of well known cities. I often travel alone, when I'm part of a group, strangers tend not to strike up a conversation, but when I'm alone strangers are happy to chat, I've met some wonderful people. If I were to write a book, it be to recount some of the wonderful stories strangers have shared with me. Travel teaches people about the country they live in and often reshapes their view of the world, I am lucky to be able to travel and I always look forward to my next adventure. Best wishes. Tim.
Hi Tim! Wonderful old machine and the sound is very good👍. It sounds very powerful and is also fast, that must have been 90 - 100 km/h. Hopefully the bearings will be replaced soon because it sounds pretty worn out. You can hear it quite clearly. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.
Hello Hans, It was a very handsome locomotive and it was nice to be speeding along the main line in the comfort of the wonderful old carriages whilst enjoying a first class dinner .... it's hard to think of a nicer way to spend a day 😊. Cheers. Tim.

Hello! I live in Hungary and I travel on this line on which the train goes (between Monor and Budapest). I volunteer at the roundhouse where this locomotive is stored.
Hello, I really enjoyed visiting Hungary. Locomotive No.424.009 looked and sounded good; you must feel proud when you see the engines you help look after speeding along the main line. As a railway enthusiast I am grateful to you and the rest of the volunteers who keep these wonderful old locomotives in working order, because without people like you, groups like the one I was travelling with wouldn't be able to ride behind steam on the national network. On behalf of myself and the rest of the group I was travelling with, I'd like to say a big "Thank You" 😊.
And before anyone says anything in the comments, I know how it's done! It's all to do with using transition effects! I know because I've used the effect myself at times. (1:37:50)

Topography makes Norfolk (UK) look undulating. Great vid,.. as usual. The interest in steam locomtion on the permanent way is World_wide. I wonder whether time-lapse cameras facing at right-angles to the direction of travel might provide some interesting cutaways of landsscape and other features to each side of the track, which would provide additional interest in situations where the topography doesn't lend itself to breath-taking views at every turn.
I agree with your topography assessment and I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I have tried additional cameras in the past, sadly it didn't go down too well, although the next two videos will contain views from three cameras mounted in different positions, it will be interesting to see how people react.
For a non-railway buff, why does this design of loco have its steam box raised well clear of the running gear? Does anyone know the country of origin of this design of loco and where it was made.?
Hi, this locomotive was made in Hungary, to learn more about the locomotive, please click on this link - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%81V_Class_424 The generous European loading gauge allowed the boiler to be mounted higher than would have been possible within the UK loading gauge making the working parts more accessible and easier to maintain.
The locomotive preformed faultlessly, the carriages were a joy to ride in and the meals served to passengers were first class 😊, Hungarian Railways deserve a big thank you 👍.
The steamy should have whistled loudly at every single crossing, she needs to be shouting down our ears all the way. Otherwise, someone could get killed. Roadways should be well away from the track on either side, except for level crossings, and all passengers should be kept away from the tracks, they should not be allowed to walk across electrified lines. Other than that, a bit too long but very nice.
The reality of rural railways in Eastern Europe is that they tend not to be fenced and normally people don’t wander about on them willy nilly. There’s no difference walking across electrified lines unless it’s d.c. third/fourth rail traction, which this isn’t. The crossings are provided with barriers so not necessary to be blasting the whistle constantly.

Hello Robert, when I was young and I'd never travelled overseas, Europe seemed like another planet, now with Eurostar and low cost airlines, I can reach most of Europe in less time that it takes me to drive to the other end of England. Europe isn't that big, but the number of languages, currencies and the diversity of its people still amazes me. As for Neil, I think he is a genuine one off, I wish had taken a photograph of one of the many narrow gauge sugar cane railway diamond crossings in QLD, it would certainly have given him something to think about. Cheers. Tim.
Very disappointed to see this old machine, later these 424 got wind plates in front,and have a nicer cab, with nice closed windows, those were the best looking steam engines in Hungary, Never understand why are they put on this old run down engine.

Hi, Tim! The tracks appear to be broad gauge(5ft, 3inch) but that might be due to the positioning of your camera.
The tracks are standard gauge, 1435 mm (4 feet and 8.5 inches).

Hi Neil, the tracks are standard guage. Did you see this video showing the Forbes Gauge train? - ruclips.net/video/cDkGUnqLXUk/видео.html 😉.

Wonder why we slammed on brakes, screeched to a halt and then floored it. Photo op for those folks?
