Hungarian Railway Museum, {CATEGORY}

Occupying the former site of the Budapest North Depot of the Hungarian State Railways, this is the first European interactive railroad museum, which opened in July 2000. With a roundhouse and 34 bays, there is plenty of room to keep the vintage railroad engines and cars including a steam engine from 1840. The pride of the vintage fleet is the elegant teak dining car built for the Orient Express in 1912. Not only can you admire the old machines, but you can also try them out. You can drive a steam engine, travel in a car converted for rails, operate a handcart, and ride on the turntable or the horse drawn tram. For the really serious railroad buff, Hungary has a wide assortment of seasonal vintage and narrow-gauge railroad excursions. Check the website for dates and times or contact Tourinform.
