Double Diesels Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi! Another photo of the last railway model show. More infos about the festival in the note of this photo.

The locomotive You see here is an M62-type diesel, nicknamed "Serguei".

It was the universal diesel locomotive type of the countries of the communist block, was and still is running on the rails of ex-Soviet countries, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Mongolia, North Korea, Cuba and... Germany (at that time East Germany, wearing the funny nickname "German Democratic Republic". But Deutsche Bahn still uses this vehicle).
"Serguei" is mostly used for freight trains, because it's unable to heat the carriages, so pulling passenger trains is out of question, except in summer. Manufactured between 1965 and '74, mileage: 1470 kW, full length 17550 mm, weight: 116 tons, engine type: diesel-electric. MÁV (Hungarian State Railway Company) have had 288 pieces overall.

Model scale: H0.

More images of the same festival are HERE and HERE on TrekLens.

Hi László,
Maybe even better than the previous as the engines are so well presented. And they are more detailed that the background scenery. A good double portrait.

Hi Laszlo,
What a lot of souvenirs you wake-up in my mind.
As a little boy I had such a miniture railway.
It's not easy to shoot such a scene, you did it very well

Szia Laci,
csodálatos macro fotó kitűnő látószögből, melynek köszönhetően az az érzésem mintha valódi mozdonyokról lenne szó. A kép tisztasága és mélysége, tökéletesen párosul a mozdonyok éles fokuszához. A színek természetesek és jól elkülönülnek egymástól.
Gratulálok és kellemes hetet kívánok!
Attila

Szia László,
Really good composition and nice sharpness. The colors of this photo are also great.
When I was child I had some railway models like these. Of course it wasn't as big system as this but I spent all my earned money for those things=)

Friendly wishes,
Eino
