MÁV-Start Bzmot
The Bzmot, Hungary’s solution for low capacity branch lines. It’s an Icon of Hungarian railroading with many wonderful nicknames, such as "Brick", "DJ Bz", "Field tram" and many more. (there’s a list of the nicknames on the Hungarian wikipedia page if you scroll down)
Built by Studenka of Czechoslovakia, they’re powered by a 228kW MAN engine, with a hydromechanical transmission onto one axle. It’s top speed is 80km/h.
These cute little things are still being used and are now getting a new paintjob, -used on MÁV’s regional trains- and they’re also getting a renovated interior.
