Bit bigger than the Škoda I used to have ...

A great archive photo of a spotless, presumably brand new 498 4-8-2 loco on the Slovakian Ministry of Railways web site:  https://www.zsr.sk/sluzby-verejnosti/ine-sluzby/archiv-zsr/albumy/lokomotivny-park.html#&gid=1&pid=24

 

It's from their locomotives archive album: https://www.zsr.sk/sluzby-verejnosti/ine-sluzby/archiv-zsr/albumy/lokomotivny-park.htm

 

There are some interesting photos of wagons and coaches too https://www.zsr.sk/sluzby-verejnosti/ine-sluzby/archiv-zsr/albumy/ministerstvo-dopravy-vozove-hospodarstvi.html

 

Apologies if everyone knows about this site. I've just seen it through a link shared on the FREMO forum (credit where it's due). Make sure you are not looking at the English language version of the site, none of this is visible.

Link one is a lot of thumbnails of locos

Link two is a '404'

Link three is a lot of thumbnails of wagons

 

This the direct link to No 498:

 

And very nice she is too.

 

Edit. Just noticed you click anywhere on the thumbnails link and 498 appears!

Apologies; as they say, 'it worked for me'. It's a thumbnail gallery of wagons and coaches; let me try again: https://www.zsr.sk/sluzby-verejnosti/ine-sluzby/archiv-zsr/albumy/ministerstvo-dopravy-vozove-hospodarstvi.html

The first link needed rescuing -- as you say, the address takes you to the background page but doesn't display the image. Perhaps the web developers were all out drinking beer/watching trains go by when they should have been finishing the job.

Poking at the first URL to see what it did

Yes that works fine.
