Originally built as a "Pioneer" (roughly = scouts) railway in the Hungarian capital's Széchenyi-Berg hills, this 11.2 km long 760 mm gauge railway is now called the Kindereisenbahn Budapest (in Hungarian: Gyermekvasút).
The line, built between 1948 and 1950, runs the whole year with steam and diesel locos and is operated by 10 to 14-year olds. Adults merely supervise and drive the locos. It is known as the biggest, most popular and most serious installation of its type.
