New Tatra truck museum waiting for its Tatra exhibits.
On December 22, the company Morys, s.r.o. handed over to the investor – the Moravian-Silesian Region – the construction of the building of the new Tatra Truck Museum. But it’s not the end. On the contrary, the museum still have a lot of work to do with the new exhibition and they hope they will be able to do it all. And – of course – they also want 2021 to be much better and more normal than the ending one.

The other Slovenska Strela
The origin of Slovenská Strela is described by experts in relatively detail, and if we grind it on the net, we get enough information about this great vehicle from the Kopřivnice Tatras, which confirms us in the general opinion that it was an exceptional, really functional and reliable vehicle. One of the two vehicles produced, the M290.002, which is a National Cultural Monument, has undergone a thorough renovation in the last two years, and soon there will be a time when it will again run on its own tracks and anchor in the newly built pavilion in Kopřivnice, prepared by Tatra. Trucks as
The second M290.001 vehicle, which no longer exists today, was not so lucky. After the end of operation, the vehicle became a source of spare parts for the car M290.002, so that eventually, demolished and abandoned burned on the parking track. And the fact that the M290.001 was not easy during operation is proved by the picture after the accident of this vehicle. Significant damage to the front occurred as a result of a collision with a truck near Modřice in May 1938. The surviving document describes that after the accident on 31 May 1938, the car was brought to Kopřivnice for repair, where a record of the extent of damage was made and a procedure was proposed. repairs. All damage is thoroughly defined in the document as well as the repair procedure. In total, it was about 4.5 m2 of damaged area and other partial damage, which was addressed within the whole. At the time of the accident, Strela 001 had driven 230,432 km. Proof of quality damage removal is the fact that Strela 001 returned to the track on September 23, 1938 and was in operation until 1953.

Slovenska Strela ready after two years of renovation, but………. VIDEO
SLOVAK SHOT – An unexpected technical defect thwarted the arrival of the national technical monument‼ ️
The ceremonial event was to take place today on the occasion of the arrival of the motor car M290.002 after two years of renovation in the new pavilion in Kopřivnice????
After completing all renovations, the missile was assembled and subjected to operational tests, which are to confirm that it will be able to repeat safe operation, even when reaching a maximum design speed of 130 km / h. Unfortunately, during Sunday’s test, the rubber, so-called Hardy couplings were damaged, which ensure a flexible connection of coaxial shafts, transmitting torque from the drive units to the chassis
Due to the fact that it is a historical exhibit, using today’s not commonly used design solutions, thorough operational tests are the only way to prevent possible future failures.
The repair will take several weeks.
However, all evil may be good for something. Due to the current situation with coronavirus, the event would be very intimate only with invited guests, as the limit of persons according to government regulations is only 5️⃣0️⃣
The new date of arrival has not yet been set, but it will be the turn of February and March 2021. We firmly believe that public participation will take place on this date and it will be a dignified event that this unique hybrid motor train deserves????
Thank you all for your understanding and we will inform you about further details
