Update 11.10.2021: And then there were two.

MÁV-Start has been on fire with werbelok releases these past weeks. At the beginning of the month, the first Hero of the Future locomotive (a EuroSprinter) was revealed, and shortly after the “Toldi” TRAXX followed. Now, we have yet another class 480 representative bearing the aquamarine design “Heroes of the Future”.
MÁV-Start has gone a step further in its climate-change awareness by adding a second “Hero of the Future” locomotive and this time it’s a TRAXX. On 18.09.2021, Stahl Csaba caught the locomotive with service 705 which runs between Szeged – Budapest:
The design is virtually identical to the one previously seen on 470 005 and it once again is highlighting the “Heroes of the Future” event – a youth program aiming to raise awareness among teenagers about the importance of living sustainably, part of the sustainability expo and summit, Planet Budapest 2021.
