Continuing my theme of modelling the railways of eastern Europe in 1:160 N scale model railways, this time I’m looking at the railways of Hungary and state operator MÁV (Magyar Államvasutak).
Ready to run
These models are ‘ready to run’ out of the box, and don’t require any work on the part of the modeller.

Manufacturer: Fleischmann #725203
MÁV-Start Class 470 electric locomotive
Manufacturer: Fleischmann #731124
MÁV “EC Venezia” carriages

Display models to convert
There models are static items for display on a shelf, but can be modified into operating models with some effort.

Free 3D models to print
A number of websites allow users to upload 3D models for others to print at home on their own 3D printers.
