...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...... 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..... |

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

The word "trial" is more suitable, I think....  Who knows...  Maybe someone else has already achieved this....  Thank you for your interest again.....but the night is still YOUNG for this OLD lady..... Cheers, mehmet |

Just fabulous, Mehmet. I am surprised that your favorite Istanbul TV station was not there with you all? What else can one do in a shopping mall in the middle of the night? Thanks again for the dedication! I was quite touched by it. Peter

....the following facts might seem to be impossible to some of you....to tell the truth it did seem to us at the beginning.... DB 44 690 ,made 1964, has only two traction tyres, weighs 709 gr, no modification, everything original.... The length of the wagons 54,27 metres...... The weight of the wagons 28,5 kg........ The number of the wagons TWO HUNDRED AND ONE (all four axled)..... The wagons are more than FORTY times heavier than HER..... The wagons are TWO HUNDRED AND ONE times longer than HER.... SHE PULLED THE WHOLE LOT WITH NO DERAILMENT IN 6 MINUTES...... |
