The class 109 locomotives represented the culmination and high
point of the 2-C locomotives in Austria. They made it possible to
reduce the travel time between Vienna and Trieste from 13.5 to 10.5
hours. In 1913, the Budapest machine factory built eleven
locomotives for use on lines in the Hungarian half of the empire.
The locomotive, later designated as the 302 series in Hungary,
differs from the original 109 series mainly in the angular covering
of the inlet pipes and the typically Hungarian lamps. The air pump
is also in a different place, namely at the back left of the
boiler.
The 109.107 numbered steam locomotive was built in Budapest in
1915, based on Austrian plan drawings. In 1932 the DSA railway
company (Donau-Sava-Adria railway company) was nationalized. Its
vehicles were transferred to MÁV. From 1932 this locomotive was
working as MÁV 302.608. The model shows us the appearance of the
last years of the locomotive.
