Budapast: The first subway line on the European Continent was built in the capital of Hungary. It was placed just over the sewage system, so the tunnel was very low. This is car no. 12 which was bought and restored by the Hannover Tramway Museum (HSM). Photo by Sven Herzfeld (s.herzfeld@maschsee.han.de)

This is car no. 12 which was bought and restored by the Hannover Tramway Museum (HSM). Note that the driver could nor sit neither stand. It does not only look like a platform car, it also hat the weight of it. Photo by Sven Herzfeld (s.herzfeld@maschsee.han.de)

This is one of the remaining trains for the Millenium Undergrond Line in Budapest. The height of the car is only 2.7m! The current collector had to be replaced, because in the tunnel remained only one overhead wire, and the old one was suitable only for two wires. Scanned by Zoltan Adam Nemeth.
