You too missed the mark. It is the whole 40-2 line as they were basically all the same thing was the only major difference being six axel or four axel.

It is as well that there are no Swedes here regularly, for they would flame you hard while maintaining that all the best EMDs bar one were built in Trollhättan.

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?

The cost of equipment in the real world is in the support and contracts, not so much the hardware (though the hardware being rugged and proven is a value all of it's own).

Why are HABDs lineside equipment rather than on train equipment? Because there are so many freight cars that retrofitting hotbox detection to all of them (and having to run around maintaining them) will always be more expensive than having some fixed hardware on the track that the railroads pay to maintain (or not maintain).

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.

So for those who aren't on Facebook, Bolt the Railway Dog has become something of an unofficial mascot for Ceske Drahy and had a Vectron named after him.

Čehia giving an hope for humanity with this move. Most progressive slavic country, with lowest ratio of prudes?

I still don't understand why Čehia has not received an Marshall plan, after declaration of independence from Slovakia.

Another emerging furry capital is Taiwan.
