Backpack ORCHESTRION

We cannot deny it one thing, however – as a successor of “Hurvínek”, which was produced after the war, it dominated local train lines. The home of “Orchestrion” is the Vagónka Studénka plant, which made the first prototype in 1970. Between 1973–1984, the plant sent a respectable total of 680 vehicles to local train lines.

What did the passengers appreciate? Automatically closing doors. What did the driver appreciate? A driver’s station separated from the passenger compartment by a wall.

One of its disadvantages was the water-cooled diesel engine, which was of course a problem in the cold. It had to be either under a roof or heated. It had and will always have a lot of pros and cons. A lot of fans and naysayers. We are rooting for it and that is why it has its place with us.   

The ORCHESTRION railcar was painted for us by Martin Přikryl aka Matys, who kind of fulfilled his dream and transferred his train from the canvas to textile. He also showcased the T-shirts and hoodies on himself. We would like to thank both him and Kolej-Klub, which allowed us to take pictures for our collection with their railcar in Turnov.
