Discover all you need to know about the “Buffalo”! On 14 July 2024, the Hungarian Railway Museum opened a special exhibition on the history and importance of the legendary 424 steam locomotive. The exhibition will be open for one year at our exhibition hall on the 1st floor, during normal opening hours, with the purchase of a general admission ticket.



Learn about the birth of the steam locomotive, its technical characteristics, its operation and the cult built around the “Buffalo” through several sections, artifacts, large-scale photographs, information panels, animations and short films. This iconic Hungarian locomotive has been featured in several Hungarian films and television productions, which will also be shown to visitors.
The exhibition is a joint project of the Hungarian Museum of Technology and Transport and the Hungarian Railway Museum to celebrate the 100th birthday of the 424 steam locomotive in a fitting way.
