ACTIVE ENGINE MODEL
On the eve of the hundredth anniversary the museum staff acquired an attractive exhibit - an active engine model made by Kostas Bukauskas (b. 1921) from Panevezys. A former railway man was dreaming of constructing an active engine. He read books, looked for sketches and worked. Two years later the engine was made according to a German model (ratio 1:9, the engine is 14 m long in reality). It weighs 30 kg. Now it is in the exposition.
