Hard to find who made the chassis of this bus or this conversion. Maybe this site can help if someone speak Hungarian: http://villamosok.hu/nza/3100.html -- Last edit: 2008-11-09 19:46:09 |

You are right, a MÁVAG product indeed, built between 1939 and 1942, its nickname was 'Harcsa' ('catfish'). The caption on the site you linked in says that in 1942, due to the wartime shortage of rubber, all of these vehicles were modified into rail buses ('sín' = 'rail'). I think it might be listed as 1942 MÁVAG N 2h sínautóbusz ('Harcsa'). |

Thanks for your help - it is this what I waited for! Also an interesting explanation why they did this, I didn't expect that they converted all or most of them. -- Last edit: 2008-11-09 21:19:54 |

Sorry, reading that caption again, and having checked a few other sites dedicated to the history of bus manufacturing in Hungary, I'd change the model name to N-2h/40 (or, carefully, N-2h/unknown). As I just learned, the plain N-2h designation belongs to older series. It seems that there were different numeric codes used over the years for identifying vehicles that look the same to me – of course, I'm not a bus expert at all. http://www.freeweb.hu/kozlekedes/albumok/fau10000.htm http://www.camiontruck.hu/images/2008/200801/images/080-085wp.pdf |

There were also older known just as N2 I think. Now thanks to the links which you posted I see that some N26 were known as N26/36 - I though that there were two models with the same design - N26 and N36 (different by the engines or length). .gif ";)") It is just my guess that the second number can indicate the year(?!) - it fits to the N26/38 - which with this body was introduced somwhere in the 1938/39.On this site we have also an other busses (so the one already listed is not NAG but MAVAG-NAG) - good find! -- Last edit: 2008-11-11 20:24:15 |
