Historama brings back memories!

A train ride is fun - as the winners of our prize draw can now confirm: They used the weekend to take a ride on the yellow Historama draisine.

As a "mostly four-wheeled or only three-wheeled rail service vehicle, powered by muscle power or a motor" and "used as an auxiliary vehicle for inspecting railroad lines and transporting workers or tools" - this is how the draisine is described in expert circles. A "nice little group" was able to experience this historic vehicle for themselves - on a ride on the Historama trolley express in Ferlach. The "Krone" had previously raffled off tickets for this.

Vehicle and history expert Hannes Lebitsch was there: "The trip was an exciting experience and afterwards there was another surprise: a spontaneous private tour of the museum with our Ernst Kitzer, who has really exciting things to say about our exhibits - more than just horsepower and dry key figures."

Unique trains on display
The whole excursion took much longer than originally planned - no wonder, given the Historama's storytellers and the interested guests. Incidentally, trolleybus 1 - the last survivor of the Klagenfurt trolleybus service - is now also on display there, and some participants can still remember it themselves!
