The first test runs with a steam engine was palnned on Monday 3th May. The
steam engine can put forth to double speed compared to battery engine. We wanted
readiness of track for service. The weather was not very well, it was raining for
the early morning. We started test runs in the afternoon eventually, but we must
have use substitutional way, because the biocentre was a full mud.
The "septimal" battery engine AEG No. 9 went off the track at the first, in order
to look into trafficability the track. Also a small grit may be cause of vehicle
derailment. |

After several low-speed driving with the battery engine and after passability revision
the steam engine "KRZENOWIC" was heating on the rails of Park Railway Olympia at
the first. it was chilli weather so steam and smoke had been sight very well. I used
a smithy coal instead of anthracite coal. A heating-up of the steam engine took
a little longer. |

The steam engine "KRZENOWIC" drove around a few circles separately and then a
passenger wagons were coupled. A deputies of companies OK Mont, Bovis Lend Lease,
Velecky and Argo participated on test runs. One 4-axle and three 2-axle wagons
were coupled. We passed a completed circle several times while a gradualy increase
of velocity. The track was stated for an operating inauguration eventually, which
will on Saturday, 22th May 2010. |
