War Thunder is saved. With this, the playerbase is appeased and a new era shall begin

The 460 class was a pioneer of its time. With remarkable acceleration, central heating, doors controlled by the driver and comfortable seats, the “Pantograph” server from 1970s well until 2023, when the class was retired and all units expect 460 044/043 were scrapped. The only survivor now belongs to a heritage railway which operates in narrow gauge and organizes railtours like this one.

The class 754 is a rare find around here. Not many remain after being modernised into 757s with Caterpillar engines. These originals with ČKD engine and that turbo whistling… that’s why we love the original locos

Last autumn I went urban exploring to an abandoned factory. It felt wrong there, but I did not back away... but later I ran after seeing this figure. It may have been a cosplayer, or a statue. But those raspy breaths were something else

A pioneer of its time, the “Pantograf” revolutionised intercity travel in Czechoslovakia. All remaining units were decommissioned and scrapped in 2023, with this one being the sole survivor and in the hands of a heritage railway group.

This loco is a renovated variant of the 163 class, designed for higher speeds. It is now being replaced by Vectron locomotives, and pushed into local service. This piece is used for spare parts now:

Každý z nás si pamätá túto súpravu. Na západe ste mali 560 v červenom nátere, u nás 460. Pohodlné sedadlá, rýchly rozjazd a brzdenie, tichá jazda, aj keď brzdenie trochu hlučné je. Ale vraj je hlučný, starý a smrdí. Na týchto súpravách som jazdil od roku 2015 a poviem vám, figu borovú! Pri jazde je tichá ako myš, len brzdy škriekajú. Starý? A čo? Okno sa otvorí, ochladí sa do minúty. Klímu netreba. Smrdí? Hovno, jedine keď niekto nechá náklad na toalete. Bola to dobrá súprava. Ale ľudia si tak spohodlneli že im toto je zlé. Dnešné regionálne vlaky majú tvrdé sedadlá kde drevení zadok. Tieto tu? Mäkké čalúnené gauče doslova. Proste ma to serie, že ich vyradili…
