| Remarks & Notes |
| Steam Engine No 490,056 was shipped in 1950 and was one of the last steam engines built in the country. It was meant for the former Yugoslavia but never ended up there. It remained in the country and was used for normal passenger and goods traffic. For a short while in 1950 it was operated at the Pioneers' Railway as well. In the 1980's it was deployed to a line connecting Lake Balaton with a spa resort to haul special trains in summer. With the decline of the line, it was made redundant and was relocated at the Children's Railway in the winter of 2000. |
