Gabor Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Hi! As you can see on the two pictures above and in this short , this MOC is a copy of a real thing.We haven’t got a Grand Canyon, or an Eiffel in Hungary, but it’s still possible to find nice places here. For example Szilvásvárad (a little village) is one of the most best places of the country. There is a small valley here, which was made by the Szalajka creek. And at the and of it there is this beautiful waterfall. There are a lot of other sights, too, for example the ancient men’s cave, the lookout tower, etc. It’s possible to reach the end of the valley on foot, by bicycle, and by the narrow gauge railway. It has a 4 km long trank in the forest, near the creek. It was a forestry railway in the past, and now it’s the only narrow gauge railway in Hungary, which can maintain itself. It has more, than 200 000 passengers a year. The railway usually uses two engines. One of them was modernized a few years ago, it is the one on the main photo. My Lego version contains this engine, a passenger coach and the snack bar wagon. The snack bar wagon is almost always near the waterfall, sometimes the engine takes it back to the village to refill it. The amount of tourists is increasing, I guess it was the reason of some developments there. Due to them, the valley contains to much buildings and asphalt, but it’s still nice. Don’t forget to visit it, if you are in Hungary! You can find more pictures about the Lego model, and the real train on Mocpages! Thanks for watching!

zephyr1934 Posted August 2, 2015 Oh wow, what a great little build. Lots of neat tricks, e.g., the sideways plates to create the look of vertical boards. Oh, and Hungary has some fantastic trains, lots of great prototypes to choose from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted August 2, 2015 Great job recreating the narrow gauge railway in LEGO. Interesting techniques. No Grand Canyon but isn't there a children run railway in Hungary too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Creations Posted August 2, 2015 Very nice! I like the way you did the grey stuff around the wheels ( sorry, haven't used train terminology in a while)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted August 4, 2015 Very nice. That boxcar is looking good with those vertical plates like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legotom Posted August 5, 2015 Really good job. Love the loco, it's a lovely little thing. Feel like a trip to Hungary now to ride on this train. It looks lovely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gabor Posted August 9, 2015 Thanks everyone for the kind words! I really loked to build this one, so it means a lot, that you like it, too! @dr_spock: Yes, it's true, there is a children run railway, and thanks to an other builder, it is also exists as a Lego model: http://legovasut.bloglap.hu/kepgaleriak/gombos-laszlo-mk45-2002/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
