Prototype Pictures of MÁV Station Buildings

Fourth Class and equivalent station buildings

The standard 4th Class Branchline Station Building in Ádánd, near to Siófok at the Lake Balaton. Nicely maintained and the old structures are well visible. Perfect prototype for modelers. The picture was taken on 9th July 2005.

A non-standard small building in Bábonymegyer. Probably built much later than the branchline itself. The picture was taken on 9th July 2005.

The building in Kapoly. This is also a non-standard building, but the windows, doors and other accessories seem to be of the standard types, as other architectural solutions, like the round window on the front top. The picture was taken on 9th July 2005.

The nice small station building in Balatonalmádi-Remetevölgy in 1968, when there was still service there. The roof is in a rather bad shape and the banks have no surface. The windows are specially designed, but the doors resemble on standard design doors.

The same station in 1994. No rails, no service. The building was changed for living house.

Third Class station buildings

The 3rd Class branchline station of Diósjenö on an old postcard. You can see some Hungarian peasants in national costume.

The same Diósjenö station today. The original structure is still well visible, but it was extended by a side wing. This is similar to those on the 2nd Class stations, but considerably larger. On the other side a small wing was built for the restaurant.

The 3rd Class station building of Monosbél on an old postcard. This is also a typical standard branchline station

The 3rd Class branchline station of Dunavecse on an old postcard. You can observe the proportions. The picture also shows a standard well, lamp and a shed in the background.

The 3rd Class branchline station of Jánoshalma on an old postcard. You can see again the standard well, lamps and shed. The building between the station and the shed is an outhouse, also a standard structure.

Station building of the samll village Karád. It is still in use, but the service limits to the day hours. It is in very nice state, one can find all original parts.

Second Class station buildings

A nice 2nd Class Branchline tation in Tab. The side has been reconstructed and a restroom was also added later, probably for the small restaurant. The picture was taken on 9th July 2005.

The 2nd Class branchline station, Mocsolád. From this viewing angle the side wing does not show, it looks like a 3rd Class station. The picture was taken in August 1997.

The Mocsolád station from the other side. This station was used still a few years before.

First Class station buildings

Dunaföldvar Station Building old minipic

The first class branchline station building of Dunaföldvár on an old postcard photo. The well in front of the building was also a standard design.

Station building of Alsóörs, on the north shore of the Lake Balaton. It looks like a standard 1st Class station building. The covered platform on the front is probably a newer construction, as well as the ugly buffet building on the left. The picture was taken on August 19th 2004.
