Part IV From The Collection Of The Transport Museum József Soltész: The Renewal Of The Famous Express Train Steam Locomotives Of MÁV. In the exhibition of the Hungarian Railway History Park opened on the 14th July 2000 the famous express train steam locomotives of the MÁV occupy a significant place. Besides the class 220, 302 and 424 locomotives renewed between 1986 and 1988 for the nostalgia traffic even the remaining last units of the class 301, 328, 242 and 303 steam locomotives have been renewed. The Author mentions the works carried out in connection with the renewal of the class 220, 302 and 424 locomotives in the years between 1986 and 1988 on a large scale, but reports about the renewal of the class 301, 328, 242 and 303 locomotives between 1999 and 2003 in detail. The express train steam locomotive No. 301, 016 had been built in the MÁV Machine Factory in 1914. It was regarded as the most famous and finest-looking express train locomotive of the MÁV, which hauled the Orient Express, too. As express train locomotive it had been in service till 1968, after that it was converted into a heating locomotive. Its renewal had been started in the locomotive depot of Nagykanizsa in 1999 and nearly the whole locomotive had to be renewed, for these works the Transport Museum lent the necessary drawings. The ceremonial handing over and taking over took place on the 7th September, 2001. The express train steam locomotive No. 328, 054 had been built in the MÁV Machine Factory in 1922. This locomotive class hauled the express trains of MÁV and the international express trains. The locomotive No. 328, 054 had been withdrawn from service in 1972 and was renewed in 1999 and 2000 using the pictures taken by Fialovits in the 1930s. The largest express train steam locomotive with the number 303, 002 built by MÁVAG was completed in 1951. The designing and building of this locomotive class had been started during the 2nd World War but were finished only in 1951. The highest speed of this locomotive was 158 km/h. The locomotive No. 303, 002 being in the possession of the Transport Museum has been renewed by the workers of the locomotive depots in Nagykanizsa and Zalaegerszeg in 2002. Sándor Bálint: The Puli (sheep-dog). Between the two world wars a significant passenger car building industry developed in Hungary. At once after the 2nd World War, on the basis of the old traditions, the "Pente 500" had been completed in 1946, which was followed within a short time by the "Pente 600" four-seat passenger car. Despite of the encouraging efforts the production could not be commenced. Out of the "Pente" there were even individual initiatives, too, but lacking the proper industrial background and capital they were not viable. The restart of the car production in Hungary became more and more urgent, since the requirement of the population to purchase car increased year by year. In 1986 the Agricultural Machine Factory in Hódmezővásárhely has built the first two-seat small vehicle named Puli. The vehicle built on the basis of French design was deliverd at the beginning only to France. It had a 4 kW, one-cylinder Diesel engine built in Japan and an automatic gear box and its fuel consumption was 2,5-3 litre. The majority of the main parts were imported, mainly from Italy. The dead weight of the vehicle was 350 kg, the total weight 550 kg. 311
