AVG diesel locomotive 63 (463), a Krauss-Maffei M500C from 1976. Even though I was constrained to face the low sun, I didn't want to pass the rare opportunity of Photographing this little-used unit.

Locomotive 63 (463) is AVG's smallest diesel locomotive and the one that has been owned by AVG for the longest time. In 1994 its number was changed from 63 to 463 in the books, but even twelve years later, the change hasn't been reflected on the loco's exterior.

The next morning, I was able to photograph AVG (4)63 once more in the same location. Overnight a little snow had fallen.

Head-on view of AVG (4)63, seen from the short-hooded end. The instrument in the center seems to be a fuel gauge.

Apparently a fuel gauge on AVG loco (4)63. Remarkably, the instrument is manufactured in Britain ("Bayram Limited, Basingstoke").
