This locomotive has something in itself. I really like this picture. Keleti is great!

Thanks! The NOHAB became cultic in Hungary. There are only seven existing pieces of twenty ordered, six in working order. It was planned to buy more, but the communist leadership didn't want to see more loco at MÁV what are produced by non-socialist industries. And then Hungary bought a lot of M62...

Poland had the same thing. Production of Polish locomotives existed. The problem is that the number of M62 surpassed it very much. This situation resulted from a socialist system.
