Csingervölgy - kiállított gőzmozdony is widely regarded as a wonderful historical monument and a beautiful tribute to transportation history in Ajka. Reviewers frequently mention that it is a great experience for small children and a worthwhile stop for anyone passing through the area. The exhibit evokes strong nostalgic feelings and is praised for being a well-preserved piece of industrial heritage. However, multiple recent visitors have issued a strong warning regarding a large wasp or hornet nest located within the locomotive's firing chamber. This makes attempting to climb into the cab or management positions dangerous and currently discouraged. Despite the insect issue, the general consensus is that the locomotive is a lovely roadside attraction for a quick, educational look at vintage machinery.
