This is a replica of the 742 Series Controller Console that is linked to the Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) game simulator. However, it is not software that is able to simulate HDV control fully relevant to reality.
The locomotive console is able to control:
- HDV directional selector
- HDV power selector
- BP automatic brake system
- BS 2 brakes
- Button and pedal sandblasting
- Whistle button
- The horn pedal.
The actual measuring and display elements on the counters are inactive. Their status changes are solved by displaying on the monitor in the 2D cab of the vehicle.
The carriageway that is shown during the ride is the section between Krnov and Ostrava Svinov which is followed by other Opava rail tracks.
A new exhibition has been open since Saturday 27.4.2024. The exhibition shows its visitors the rich history of local and minor normal and narrow-gauge railways in the "Ostrava-Karviná" industrial area from the years 1894 to 1949.
Visitors can read about the history of the construction of the line and its beginnings of operation at the exhibition areas of the new exposition.
