green streamline

MÁV Class 242 was a 4-4-4T steam locomotive of Hungarian State Railways. A small class of only four examples, they were built between 1936 and 1939 and only this one is left. They were highly unusual in that they were both streamlined, as was the fashion of that period for fast express service, but they were also tank locomotives. - Hungarian speed record in 1961 with 161 km/h. Seen in the steam workshop Budapest.
