Hungary: Two clips showing MAV Class 418 (M41) diesel locos at Tapolca (near Lake Balaton) on MAV/GySEV passenger trains. Recorded 5th July 2014. Clip 1 - 418 318 departs from Tapolca on train no.1973, the 16.56 Tapolca - Budapest Deli. Clip 2 (0.57) - 418 305 arrives at Tapolca on train no.19804, the 1643 Keszthely - Szombathely. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Hungarian State Railways (Hungarian: Magyar Államvasutak or MÁV) is the Hungarian national railway company, with divisions "MÁV START Zrt." (passenger transport), "MÁV-Gépészet Zrt." (maintenance) and "MÁV-Trakció Zrt.". The "MÁV Cargo Zrt" (freight transport) is sold for ÖBB. The head office is in Budapest. In Budapest, the three main railway stations are the Eastern (Keleti), Western (Nyugati) and Southern (Déli), with other outlying stations like Kelenföld. Of the three, the Southern is the most modern but the Eastern and the Western are more decorative and architecturally interesting. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Tapolca is a town in Veszprém county, Hungary, close to Lake Balaton. The town has a separate district approximately 5 km to the East called Tapolca-Diszel. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The MÁV M41 series was built in 1969 and 1972 to 1984 in 107 copies to the MÁV delivered four-axle diesel locomotive which was to replace the last remaining operational steam locomotives. Machines of this type were also produced for Gysev and OSE. The history of this locomotive goes to the MÁV -series M46 back from 1969 by Ganz MÁVAG two similar locomotives for testing the MAV has been sent. The sample locomotives had a single-ended funds cab and a 12-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine from full , which made at 1500 rpm 880 kW (1200 hp). From this locomotive developed full-MÁVAG the final design 1972 M41, then the last steam locomotives were the be replaced on non-electrified routes, especially the MÁV-series 424 . locomotives were liberally used to its mass, the freight service to the express service. In terms of their technical data, there are different data in the literature. The technical data correspond to the book "locomotives Austrian Railways". The engine noises missed the machine the name "Rattler". After 2002, the machines were gradually repowered and received new engines of MTU or Caterpillar . You are at the present time as indispensable as ever and will probably be in use until 2017. In the OSE locomotives are already retired. It is equipped with a hydraulic transmission from Voith equipped, Type 720 L + rU 2. The transmission consists of two torque converters and a mechanical gearbox . The heating for the train carried by an AC generator connected to the diesel engine. The electrical system of the machine was about through a rectifier also controlled. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Lake Balaton is a freshwater lake in the Transdanubian region of Hungary. It is the largest lake in Central Europe and one of Hungary's foremost tourist destinations. The Zala River provides the largest inflow of water to the lake, and the canalised Sió is the only outflow. The mountainous region of the northern shore is known both for its historic character and as a major wine region, while the flat southern shore is known for its resort towns. Balatonfüred and Hévíz developed early as resorts for the wealthy, but it was not until the late 19th century when landowners, ruined by Phylloxera attacking their grape vines, began building summer homes to rent out to the burgeoning middle classes. In Hungarian, the lake is known simply as Balaton, or "the Balaton". This name derives from the Slavic blato meaning 'mud' or 'swamp'. Slavic prince Pribina began to build in January 846 a fortress as his seat of power and several churches in the region of Lake Balaton, in a territory of modern Zalavár surrounded by forests and swamps along the river Zala. His well fortified castle and capital of Balaton Principality that became known as Blatnohrad or Moosburg ("Swamp Fortress") served as a bulwark both against the Bulgarians and the Moravians. The Romans called the lake Lacus Pelso ("Lake Pelso"). Pelso derives from a local name for the lake, perhaps from the Illyrian language, as the Illyrians once populated the region. The German name for the lake is Plattensee. It is unlikely that the Germans named the lake so for being shallow since the adjective platt is a Greek loanword that was borrowed via French and entered the general German vocabulary in the 17th century. It is also noteworthy that the average depth of Balaton (3.2m) is not extraordinary for the area (cf. the average depth of the neighbouring Neusiedler See, which is roughly 1m). -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ More FrontCompVidsclips are regularly added to so don't forget to Like and Subscribe!
