The battery engines, 7" green AEG from depot Reckovice and 5" red AEG from depot
Krenowice, and four 5" passengers cars were used for a test runs.
Jirka Sajbrt made a special gauge for a curves measuring. We used a digital gauge
for a gradient measuring and a level yet. |

We have to fix the switch in
a final position so that we could try
a passage by an increased speed.

A test runs were started. The bought trains were looking into passability by a slow
runs from the double-tracked station Amphitheatre into the reset loop. A regular
test revealed two embarrassments in the rail joints.
The first problem is a sunken rail joint which to happen while a welding, owing to
a material deformation. The next problem is a deformation of the rail joint in the
longitudinal direction. We searched the optimal resolution with OK Mont company
after the test runs.
We tested a passing through the switch by maximum speed, which is about 11 km/hod
with a battery engines. The run in a direct course and by a branch, along the spite
and against the spite were without problems. But steam engines can go with a double
speed. The track is not ready for steam engines operating with a passenger cars. |
