<p>Last two photos from the Saturday evening in Budapest. We'd had a nice meal in the Hard Rock Cafe but JJ was feeling a bit headachy. He was happy to sit outside on a bench for a while, but we had an early night in the hotel (poor thing was sick, but he bounced back the next morning)<br />

This is just a candid shot of a man enjoying the evening - I tried a few candids but they didn't come out very clear.</p>

This was an unusual looking tram, a bit shorter than the usual.  Vintage tram 2624 is the oldest operating vehicle in the Budapest Transport Company (BKV) heritage fleet, originally built in 1906. It runs on special heritage (nostalgia) lines, often along the scenic Danube riverfront routes like N2 and N19, during specific weekends and events. More below:<br />
<br />
<i><u>2624 vintage tram</u><br />
After the turn of the century, the BVVV decided to purchase trams with a uniform character, and this is how the Buda Schlick factory produced the type 30 G and the type 60 K. In 1906, a series of type G trams were produced, including the car originally bearing the number 270, of course in a wooden frame design. The body of the G-type trams had four side windows with yellow and white paintwork and Art Nouveau lines. The ramps had a single step, and had a lower and upper pantograph. The car was equipped with a beam headlight with a bell. During the BSZKRT period the cars were renumbered, at which time the 270 was given the track number 2624. The Art Nouveau pattern was removed from the cars, and they were also fitted with life-guards and collapsible grid-doors. Car 2624 was given a steel body in 1959, but the beam headlights were also replaced with normal headlights. In the decades that followed, it typically ran with 1-2 trailers. After being scrapped in 1981, it was not dismantled for unknown reasons, contrary to the original plans, but was sold to a private collector in Amsterdam in 1984 and used for several heritage services in the Dutch city. It was bought back by BKV in 2004 and restored for the 125th anniversary of tram services in Budapest. Interestingly, this is the oldest member of the Budapest vintage fleet, yet it looks surprisingly young. This is because it was restored to its last operational condition. It is also interesting to note that it is the only double-axle vintage tram with mountain-track equipment. It was first operated in November 2012 and has delighted old-timer fans ever since.</i> (From <a href="https://bkk.hu/en/travel-information/special-and-heritage-transport-services/heritage-transport-services/classic-vehicles/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bkk.hu/en/travel-information/special-and-heritage-transpo...</a>)</p>
