...it is after 1:00 am and we give the first trial to DB 003 160-9 with 164 Passenger Wagons...(Ma: 3085.1)



the result: WE FAIL......Crying

ps: if you could translate the script, you could hear a friend suggesting pressing a little bit on the loco....thanks to OTHER team members they don't let him do....since they know there is no cheating in OUR trials.....ThumpUp

......we have understood that the limit for DB 003 160- 9 is 159 .....

.....a video of our previous attempt in April 2012.....even one can see that SHE was not fully successful there....she had 189 wagons behind her and able to pass the flags with only the first 159 wagons....Sad



the coming trials will be with DB 44 690.....Smile
