The iconic steam locomotives of the Romanian narrow-gauge forestry railways were built at Resita and Reghin based on the plans of the MÁVAG 490 . Construction started during the days of the restoration of Transylvania to the Kingdom of Hungary and went on until the 1980s. Some locomotives were later sold to Hungary, but currently only the Csömödér and Gemenc railways' locomotives are operational and the Gyöngyös locomotive called Gyöngyi is undergoing overhaul. The other locomotives are probably not going to be repaired. A few of my photos of Resita and Reghin built steam locomotives:
