Driver's Eye View - Czech Republic - Narrow Gauge Railway - Zastávka u Brna to Zbýšov

Grumpy Diesel No. T478 - 1002 transported our group from Brno to Zastávka u Brna to visit the nearby industrial narrow gauge railway and museum. Two smartly turned out 600mm gauge steam locomotives simmered at the head of an eclectic rake of carriages waiting to take us along the 5 km narrow gauge line to the “The Museum of Industrial Railways” at Zbýšov. The route was originally laid as a standard gauge railway in 1862 to transport coal from the mines at Zbýšov to a junction with the national network at Zastávka u Brna. The museum houses a substantial collection of locomotives and rolling stock that once served industrial narrow gauge railways around the Czech Republic.

Hello Roger, the Czech people love their trains, the museum is run by volunteers and they deserve a big "Thank you" for the wonderful work they do in keeping the past alive for the next generation to enjoy. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers. Tim.

Taka krasna zeleznica a este som u nej nepocul sa mozem schovat. Dik za video.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Dobrý deň, o tejto železnici som nevedel a cez stanicu Zastávka u Brna som prechádzal niekoľkokrát. Bol som na železničnej prehliadke a navštívil som odbočky v Česku a táto železnica bola veľmi milým prekvapením, oplatí sa ju navštíviť.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

Nice little museum operation. Not overly ambitious in their operation or amount of track they are trying to maintain. Like a lot of U. S. museums, they've got a back lot with a lot of "stuff" probably given to them that they will most likely never get around to restoring.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

The museum was created on the track bed of a onetime standard gauge railway, built to serve a coal mine. The coal mine closed and the museum was built on the site of the old mine. Today it houses an extensive collection of items from industrial railways that once operated in Czech and like many similar museums they have been gifted a lot of stuff, much of which is exhibited, although it will most likely never run again.

Hallo, ich freue mich, dass dir das Video gefallen hat. Ich habe auf Google Earth nachgeschaut, wohin die Linie an der Kreuzung führte. Es ist ein kurzer Sporn, der scheinbar nirgendwohin führt.

[@sellier-bellot22]

Not so tourist friendly track a bit noisy maybe suspension problems !! from the railway system got to give extra points ,narrow gauge for tourists !!! LOL😄

[@Timsvideochannel1]

It is an industrial railway museum with a train ride as an added bonus. The track, locomotives and rolling stock were built to do a job, I think comfort was a secondary consideration, the carriage seats were wooden so you got to feel every bump and jolt, it was truly authentic experience.

[@sellier-bellot22]

[@ΓιαννηςΠαπακωνσταντινου-μ9τ]

what is its speed?

[@timstrainvideos142]

slow!

[@Timsvideochannel1]

15 kph at the most, probably slower.

[@NoahMiller-gr9ul]

That engine has flat spots on its drivers. Leave those and it'll beat your engine to ruin.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

The camera picks up all sorts of noises when it's mounted on the outside of the locomotive, there was certainly something vibrating but the noise didn't sound regular enough to be wheel flats, it could have been the rail joints or excessive play in the connecting rod bearings. The guys at the museum look after their locos, if it is wheel flats I'm sure they’ll get it sorted.
