On 29 April 2016 Pt47-65 celebrates her succesful renovation at Wolsztyn with a balloon filled rope cutting ceremony. Alas, the 'ropes' were made of nylon, that compacts on pressure unlike standard rope, that can be cut by driving a steam loco across. The idea of a rope cutting by locomotive was good, but the nylon didn't cooperate so the 'rope' had to be burned to get the balloons loose. Leonardus Schrijvers
On 1 May 2011, Pt 47-106 takes a sun bath at Wolsztyn. Class Pt47 were the post WW-II version of the simple and very effective Pt31 1D1 machines, one of the best types of steam locos ever build for accidented tracks. When during the nazi-ocupation of Poland German train crews compared the DRG Classes 19, 39 and 41 with the Polish Pt31, they found the Polish product cleasrly superior to the 1D1 locos of the supposedly racially superior Reich.
