Lorries could be used to transport sugar beet, straw, fertilizer or even bricks so it was the best known vehicle of Hungarian farm railways or agricultural railways. As these were mostly situated on level land a typical train had at least 20 cars in it, either loaded or empty. Now there are a lot less examples in running condition but even this problem had an authentic solution: an important coal delivery for theheating of the stations could have been necessary and all locations had a few dedicated bags of coal in the lorries. The typical motive power was also the black or green-red Csepel C50 small diesel locomotives.
