Lokomotivski oddelek

Parne lokomotive so obratovale na naših progah več kot 130 let. Njihova poglavitna konstrukcijska načela, ki jih je že leta 1829 postavil George Stephenson s svojo malo Rocket, veljajo še danes. Z leti so se v pomoč strojevodju v strojevodski hišici uveljavili tipični inštrumenti in pripomočki za upravljanje, prav tako pa so se izoblikovala posebna delavniška orodja in merilni inštrumenti, potrebni pri njihovem vzdrževanju.

For over a hundred years, steam locomotives reigned on our railway lines. In spite of their hugeness and weight, their accurate functioning has always been of greatest importance. The engine-driver controlled the steam engine by means of instruments and gauges installed on the foot-plate. For maintenance and repairs, special tools and measuring instruments were used.
