MÁV - Hungary The large diesel locomotives of class M63 were not a success. Only 10 were built in 1970-1975 but these were soon displaced by electrification of the main lines. None is left in service anymore, this one at the museum is the only one surviving. Budapest, 22-08-2009 Digital photo by Marco van Uden |
