Czechoslovak Steam Traction
Jedničkový čtyřkolák 434.1 proof
A unique collection of medals charting the development Czechoslovak design schools of steam locomotives as part of more than two hundred years of railway development.
The entire planned collection aims to gradually present the most significant locomotive series up to the peak of steam locomotive construction in Czechoslovakia. This collection is not only a unique collector's item, but also an interesting investment opportunity..
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the day when, on September 27, 1825, a steam locomotive named Locomotion named Locomotion , thus giving a common name not only to steam locomotives, but also to motor and electric self-propelled vehicles moving along the endless silver ribbon of rails that has embraced the world over the past two hundred years.
This collection is also a tribute to all past generations of design engineers, engine drivers, stokers and workshop staff, who faithfully served such an amazing machine as the steam locomotive undoubtedly is.
