Still here, still doin the Lego Train thing. I've given up on the "purism" that many Lego enthusiasts value; now I buy parts from the higher-quality clone brands, and I've even painted a few pieces here and there.

An average of one train set a year from Lego is enough to just barely maintain "L-gauge" being a thing but not enough for the hobby to grow on its own
We should realistically never expect more wheels, buffers, track pieces -- especially now that third-party companies took it upon themselves to fulfill all Lego train modeller's needs to a high quality standard
Purism is dead if you want to get anywhere in Lego trains -- go wild
(that being said the Orient Express passenger cars is a high point and a highlight of the last several years, and it's an indication the niche seems profitable enough for Lego to keep occasionally putting these gems into production)

Thread restarted after a devastating flood of poorly drawn wojaks wiped out the entire catalog in one fell swoop.

That is an old Hungarian tram by Ganz Machinery Works. They began production in the 1960s, being called the Ganz CSMG with quite a lot of them being made. The one in your picture is a refurbished model - given the designation the new KCSV-7 - which were done in the 1990s. KCSV-7 stands for Korszerűsített Csuklós Villamos 7-es típus or in English, Modernized Articulated Tram Type 7.
Some of them are still in use today on the streets of Budapest, but given how old they are, will likely be retired at some point in the near future.
Here's another picture of Number 1353, running near the Danube River on Line 2 of the Budapest tram network. This particular tram line is quite nice since it runs next to the river and offers you nice views of the water and the city. The only downside is that the seats on the KCSV-2's are quite uncomfortable and despite the heating they added when refurbishing these, they still get pretty cold in the winter.

Always find it very annoying how ridiculously expensive various items are for railroads and I'm sure this goes into other industries as well. A few IR sensors some custom printed circuit boards and a computer that most likely does not need to be any more powerful than your most basic entry level smartphone for a hot box detector cost as much money as a supercar with many thousands of precision made parts. You're basically talking something a bunch of vocational High School kids could design and build for under five grand. Furthermore why are we even still relying on HotBox detectors when you could just mount a rubber hose connected to train air over the adapter plate of a truck so if it overheats the heat generated will melt the hose dumping the train air?

Corporations just use different currency that has approx 10:1 exchange rate to our money.
Guess what this little trolley for freezer boxes costs? -75 €.
It's not even quality construction, they will snap under load and the bearings are open and will rust.
