A steam locomotive from the MÁV 376 series near the train station, as a part of the railway history exhibition
The "MÁV 376 series" steam locomotive model was manufactured between 1910-1923 by the MÁVAG ("Hungarian Royal State Railroads' Machine Factory"), a company that existed between 1870-1988 under several names. This certain locomotive (No. 376-513) is a member of a 50-piece series that was ordered during the World War I, but manufactured only after the war in 1921 or 1922.

Exhibited No. "MÁV P-305" standard gauge motor-powered draisine (light auxiliary rail vehicle) near the train station

Not so long ago this vehicle also had a windscreen, it now missing probably due to vandalism.

The motor-powered draisines (aka railway motor cars or so-called "speeders") started to spread in Hungary in the 1950s. Here their commonly used name was PVG or PKVG, that is the abbreviation of approx. "the roadmaster's light rail vehicle". The 250 cm³ engine came from Hungarian-made Pannónia motorbikes, this enabled the vehicle to reach the speed of 60 km/h (probably that's why they had windscreens). However only the half of this speed was permitted for them. These vehicles could carry a maximum of 4-5 persons. Because the railway cars were about half ton in weight, a special lifting device was also built in to be able to turn them on the rails. But independently of this, the vehicles were able to go backwards as well.
