The MÁV M43 1081 seen at Diósjenő station

This is the 200^th album at benbe.hu, which was launched at July, 2005, so quite a few years ago. In this album I return to the Nógrád region consisting of four main lines (line 75 from Vác to Balassagyarmat, its branch, the now suspended line 76 from Diósjenő to Romhány, the line 78 from Aszód to Balassagyarmat and its quite rarely served extension 78b to Ipolytarnóc), one of my favourite regions in Hungary. Some of the images are fairly old, but reflect the unique scenery and the interesting freight and special workings of those days. Now the region is mostly limited to Bzmot railcars and those only on line 75 and 78, 78b serving like two trains a day and 76 shut down. The only interesting thing to see is the Bzmot 343, a railcar repainted in the original red and yellow livery (mostly the less dynamic inverse of the current livery) which ironically this car neve wore as it is a newly built railcar, constructed from unmotorised trailers.

For this 200^th album I've created a new design for the page, mostly just altering fonts and colours leaving the functionality the same, but still a little bit of fine tuning is necessary so during the time of the transition a few glitches are to be expected. I apologise for any inconvenience.
