Schienenzeppelin
The Schienenzeppelin was a railway car designed by Franz Kruckenberg in 1929, powered by a wooden propeller in the rear, i.e. in a pusher configuration. Only one example of the Schienenzeppelin was built, which Kruckenberg called the “Flugbahn-Wagen”. It set a world speed record of 230.2 km/h, which lasted 24 years. However, the technology was not further developed and the Schienenzeppelin was scrapped in 1939. An earlier propeller-driven car was Walerian Abakowski’s Aerowagon.

Skilled hands in Wallachia managed to repair the drive of the Slovak missile
The legendary Slovak Strela train is back on the rails again, helped by Mezopravna Vsetín. It is the successor of the former Sousedík’s factories, whose founder invented the hybrid drive for the revolutionary train set. In the 1930s, the Strela was the fastest carriage in Europe. When Vladimír Hrbas was approached three years ago by former colleagues from the company Mezopravna Vsetín asking if he would help in the reconstruction of Sousedík’s unique fast train locomotive Slovenská Strela, he did not hesitate.
